Dan the Video Man

Dan Post Card Portrait

Mr. Daniel Ollman of About Face Media journeyed to Manitowoc last week to video us for the MAM. We talked about snapshots then made this postcard portrait of him. Later we all headed out in our Rambler wagon to photograph Richie who’s been living in a vintage Airstream trailer near Lake Michigan. A storm blew in off the lake. The seagulls went berserk circling overhead as we exposed our precious 4 sheets of film with the 12×20 banquet camera. Dan recorded it all on miniDV tape. It started to pour and the cameras were stashed. The four of us huddled in the Airstream listening to the rain, cleaning our lenses and drinking Point beer.

    When Dan turned around to the man’s embarrassment, he realized he had mistaken Dan for his friend Jim Walters. Harley Vintage

    You’re looking at us, we’re looking at you. Check out Dan’s video posted today for the moment of exposure.
