I quite like the shot you did get. Shooting at 1/13th and 90mm focal
length is quite an achievement. Good work. in obviously very difficult
circumstances. Where is Green Mill? I'm not familiar with it. Of
course I left Chicago 28 years ago.

Well, what a f***ing, bl**dy miserable night of photography I just
had. I shot 79 frames--I say again, I shot 79 frames--and I only
got this one shot to show for it. Ugh! I fought with focus all
night: I couldn't even get the stone titties on the Greek statue to
come out sharp. Couldn't get any interesting expressions. And it
was a great night of poetry--lots of animated performance poets.
Nothing went as planned:
1) I wanted to get some nice shots of the famous Green Mill interior
for the our good PDML folks in and from Chicago--you know, a
neighborly gesture. Well, I've come up empty handed.
2) I wanted a good shot or two of two poets from Australia reading
to night--you know, a kind of international neighborly gesture.
Well, I've come up empty handed.
3) I wanted to show off my sister reading her poetry tonight--you
know, a kind of sibling promotional gesture. Well, I've come up
empty handed.
I think I'm glad I have a day job.
Anyway: This is Marc Smith, father of performance and slam poetry.
He's a really nice guy and lots of fun to watch and listen to.
