Some of you might have heard through Oprah, CNN, or one of the national news places that a tent city in Sacramento is growing rapidly. it's been there for a while, but it's increasing in occupants every day. So I went there today in hopes of finding a person from our town to do a story on for the paper. No luck there, but I did take some shots for myself anyway. I'm going to go back next week during the evening in hopes of getting some better light and more people. At noon the light wasn't great and there were only a few people at the camp. I'd also like to get a high shot of the whole camp(which is very spread out so the whole thing might not be possible). I think evening light would be better for that as well.
I totally messed up though. I took my first couple shots inside of a tent and cranked up my iso to 1250. And then forgot to take it back down for the rest of the shots. So they are pretty noisy, but luckily I had planned to do the whole series in b&w which hides the noise a bit.
I have stories and info on everyone, but I haven't gone as far to write yet. But a quick note on the guy sitting in the easy-chair and the bed; He calls himself the "Mayor of Tent City," because he has one of the bigger, well accommodated tents. Propane cooker, mini-dvd player, stereo, lounge chair, a twin sized bed with frame, file cabinets, and a bedside table.
As always, comments and criticism are welcome.
