Hello, all,
I just found out about this list and while I am not terribly active
in nature recording, my current two hobbies are photography and
recording, while my "day job" is audio tape restoration. I hope this
is the right level of introduction.
I do like outdoor photography so I thought perhaps this list would
inspire me to combine recording and photography in the field....in
the future, maybe when the kids are off to college in 4-5 years.
In past lives, I've spent time recording church music. Initially in
the late 1970s/early 1980s at St. Thomas Church, New York City

Currently, I just produced a Christmas CD that I recorded last year
for my church here in Aurora, Ontario.
As part of my tape restoration work, I re-released all of Canadian
Marie-Lynn Hammond's recordings on four CDs.

For field equipment, I have a Sound Devices 722, a pair of DPA 4006TL
mics, and a pair of Sennheiser MKH416 short shotgun mics with foam
(not more sophisticated) windscreens.
Here is a current example of my outdoor photography.

A few of the local community recording projects I do (for fun) can be found=
at
www dot richardhess dot net (sorry, I don't want them linked
publicly). The YRDSB is perhaps the best example-Grade 7/8 kids who
come together for a week of making music--their first experience in
an honours band. My son made this two years in a row. This was the
kind of stuff I originally bought the DPAs and Sound Devices for.
My professional background is audio-video engineer at ABC-TV in NY
City 1974-1981, director of engineering (and other titles) at McCurdy
Radio Industries in Toronto 1981-1983, principal consultant (and
other titles) at National TeleConsultants 1983-2004 when I left to
return to my wife's hometown and go full-time into audio tape restoration.
Cheers,
Richard
