[Frameworks] Tripod for Arri S

[Steven]

Jeff, Your digressions are better than my on the topics.

I'm in the Web content division where I work - I write up product 
descriptions, and the occasional article. Any opinions I express here 
are of course my own, and not my employers.

Separated from wife, needed a stable job and stable schedule. Have to 
work anything else in around that. I did some shooting on a doc and a 
short film, so I can make the schedule work between full time job and 
Kids, but it is a stretch.

Please let me know next time you come to NY, I'd love to actually meet 
you one day.

Oh yeah, once in Africa I forgot the Headphones were still attached to 
the Nagra, man those machines were tough. Glad that I'm not the only one 
whose done that sort of thing.

The director and cameraman never stopped talking the whole shoot, and 
that was when I decided camera was a better position than sound.

Best
