SLIDE SCANNING PROJECT
This slide is from my very early days in television. . .1975. I was directing a show called "On Stage". We tried to feature local performers of all types. This show featured a local magician who owned a very cool store called The Emporium. We did a 30 minute show with the magician performing a number of his best tricks and illusions. I took this shot as we were adjusting the lighting before recording the interview segment of the show. I asked the host, who was covered in balloons, to give me a smile. . .And this is what I got. He was a fun guy who actually did the "weather" segment on our newscasts. He wasn't a meteorologist, he was a "performer" who did the weather. Sort of like David Letterman who did the weather on a local station when he first started out. The man on the right is the magician. After we finished taping this show it was time for the 10 O'Clock News, so the host "magically" turned back into a "weatherman". I wish I had a recording of this show so I could watch it today and see what I think of it 48 years later!
