TTV through Alcatraz - (original post Jan. 4)
So we set off for Alcatraz today. Caught the Ferry at 12:45 and sailed onto the big Rock. I took my new camera, all the lenses and MY BOOT.
I TTV’d (shot “Through the viewfinder”) all through Alcatraz with people staring at me like I was carrying a bomb… Never have I caused more attention than carrying a large electrical taped boot shaped THING with a little lense poking out.
Mike took these of me taking shots…
Only one guy asked me what it was. A guard asked me also and she ended up taking the four of us up into the gun tower… A secret place above it all. We got to see the chapel, still all strewn about with grafitti and wood, and broken windows from the indian “occupation”… She was very cool. I got to snap photos from high above everyone, and in secret corridors, and in the chapel. Quite a killer day for photographs. I took 279 of them and will take a couple of days cropping, editing and then I’ll show some off.
The kids had fun for a while, then they got bored… We did our own little wandering tour and headed back home. All in all a fun day.
