Notes from 10th Jan 2005
[posted at 11:00 GMT]    

Morning, the last day of previous year, Hape Smeele called me. I was very glad that I hear him as I was planning to meet him and Caroline Schroeder soon. What was my surprise when he asked me if I do not want to make some pictures from some theater like new year party of certain company. I have to arrange few things and today I was there.

I was taking pictures from around 12:00 until 17:00 and as light goes down it become more and more difficult. Not only that but around 16:00 I was already so tired of paying attention to all things that I need double coffee.
Now I have first four rolls in tank ready to be developed. I was planning to use Fuji Neopan 1600 but I could not find it in such a short time so I used Fuji Neopan 400 exposed at 800 and Kodak TMZ exposed at 1600. But I need to first take some sleep I can barely stand. Quite surprise I must say.

Whole session was very intensive. I need to follow stories, watch out for background and light and try not to eclipse player before public. Quite funny was that I had almost same dress (black) as the players so quite a few people thought that I am just playing with them :-)
