Cameraman-Eye View

This is Ball State student Jason Ashmawi, our summer intern. Finally somebody else tall enough to get those high-angle shots.
Camera #3
Barry Barker snapped this shot of board member Billy Porch manning a camera in the early hours of the broadcast.Live Primary Returns #2
Later ironman Ed Hoffman filled in for Billy Porch. We had our All-Star camera line-up, with former Volunteers of the Year Ed, Billy, and Barry all on the job.Live Primary Returns Roundtable
A nice shot by Barry Barker of our live Primary Returns set, on the staircase landing at the Wayne County Annex. John Schuerman dreamed this up, and I didn't know how good it would look until I saw the broadcast. Thanks to Karen Chasteen, Joe Kaiser, Phil Quinn, and Kelley Cruse, who anchored down almost three hours of live returns.
