    Would still like one up high for an inside shot. Like a security camera perspective. Maybe even long exposure trickery for a few "ghosts".
    Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

    Check this out. This guy has some prison photos. Probably an older prison than the one you are going to, but he had some neat shots.

    Okay, officially past the middle of January. If you can't tell, I am really excited to see this.. I'm sure there is some deep rooted jealousy in there somewhere. Has the eagle landed?!

    Well Rocco, the plan is to do a recon mission tomorrow (Wednsday) and take a few test shots---hopefully I'll have something to post from that round. In a couple of weeks, I'll go and spend the whole day there and really work the shots.

    Just an update---Had a minor crisis this week at work, so I wasn't able to take the day to go do this. But....It is still on the agenda.--Sorry Rocco.

    Thanks
    You need to forget the still photos and instead get a video camera that shoots night-vision. You could make a kindergarten art class look spooky that way if you just jerk the camera around a lot.
    A random assortment of totally irrelevant measuring devices is essential; a barometer, a thermometer, a fathometer, a dynomometer...prety much any kind of '-ometer' will do.
    Then you just need a couple of girls with night-vision cameras so everyone can film each other pretending to see/hear things and screaming.
    Bingo!! Reality TV gold!
