Bringing down the house
THE NORTH HANGER: Still intact 11:14am, flattened by 11:29am
Thanks to our friends at WCBU on the Bradley campus, I’ve had a remote camera set up for the past several weeks monitoring the deconstruction process on the east side of the Field House. The result has been a slew of boring frames where little has happened for days on end, punctuated by large sections suddenly disappearing in between shots. I missed the big collapse Tuesday morning by less than a hour, reminding me that I can’t always be everywhere at once. Kirk Wessler has some first-hand accounts of the big event.
For those curious, I’m using a spare D1x with a 10.5mm fisheye lens, driven by a PocketWizard set to trigger the camera every 15 minutes. I’ll be posting a time-lapse video later this week.
