Yeah, sure this was a neat little assignment where Chinese children got to interact with American kids for the first time.
But there is nothing like killing the moment with insane amounts of video cameras. To be perfectly honest, I am not sure if this was totally necessary. Multiple cameras, lights, etc.
Alas, they seemed to suck out all of the emotion in the room. Ethics were not existent as children were told how to interact with one another in front of their cameras. In addition, one of these “professionals” pushed me out of the way as I was making a picture in the cafeteria. No respect for others or other media.
Respect will take you a long way in life.

A few decades ago was at a press conference after the execution of Pierre Dale Selby one of the “Hi-Fi killers,” in Ogden. A local TV guy body checked me out of the way, so I stood behind him and put my hands around the power cord from his video camera to the power belt around his waste, leaned forward and sad in his ear, “you don’t give others room, I’ll yank your power cord.” He wasn’t happy but he did comply. Today there are no power belts, so I’d say instead what an old UPI reporter once told me he did to a TV guy who wouldn’t move, the reporter said, “Move or I’ll say F*** just load enough for your mic to pick up, and I’ll say it often so you’ll have nothing.” Worked for him.
Did the cameramen also hack this blog and put red dots over their faces? What’s with the censorship? We are not in China.
I was trying to be respectful, something they all lacked.
I still don’t understand. The red dots are your way of showing respect??
Kind of like “Cops” innocent until proven guilty. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt by hiding their faces. I am a nice guy.
I think their faces are blocked out because they aren’t videographers at all. These guys are all members of a boy band.
Garry, I like where your heads at. My old colleague taught me the swearing technique at FB games. It does work. lol
