Light and shadow. Filming is all about lighting. In the film business, the chief lighting technician is the Gaffer, a title that may have originally come from gaff or gaffing hook. I read that, in the days predating electric lighting, a pole with a large hook was used to raise or lower the canvas top on a set or stage to let in or reduce light. The Gaffer in my fiction, BEER POUR, about filming the world's best beer commercial, is named Jonathan Hyle. #gaffer #gaffers #lightandshadow #light #filmMastodon #film #photo #photography #art #mastoArt #arts #mastodon #books #bookstodon #booksky #book #movie #set #sets #filming #shadows #shadow #lights #visualart #visual #writersCoffeeClub #writer #writersOfMastodon #writers #beerpour #fiction #fictionalCharacter #fictional #arts #commercial

Any other classic boat and/or gaff rig lovers here?

So weird. How is it that I can't find any #gaffers #tape at two different #hardware stores, in two different malls? Plenty of duct tape, masking tape, packaging tape, double-sided tape, etc... but no gaffers tape?? I asked a guy that worked there and he didn't know what it was. Come on now. Really? Even I* know what gaffers tape is. 🙄
