- Description
-
Strong tape of summertime cutaway images and sounds—extreme temps of August as heat creates ripples in the air, which the camera successfully records. Also, 55 gallon drums, old house trailer, abandoned cars, metal buckets, man sitting in solitary chair at top of hill, another man peeing behind truck, truck driving along road, boy riding by on bicycle, wrecked van, upside down car, etc. Video quality is fine on this very good tape as the isolation and desolation of Slab City in mid-summer is visualized very well.
