flower pot camera.jpg
Made for a story about mounting a remote camera to make a different photograph of the toasts at a state dinner. You can see that a camera was mounted in each wooden flower pot (that I made), and the White House florist, seen in the photograph, was to put a flower arrangement on the top of each flower pot. First Lady Nancy Reagan finally said that the flower pots should be put out just as they were without the flower arrangements on the top. FYI The First Lady didn’t like the pots in, but she agreed to let them be for an old friend—me.
I thought that I would give some information about the life of the flower pots after their State Dinner evening. The other person in the picture is Ron Thompson, the Nikon tech rep for Washington at that time. Ron was a wizard problem solver and helped with this project. He helped press photographers using Nikon, at the time everyone did, and other photographers in the government. After the dinner as we were taking the equipment down, ( a couple of Dynalite strobes were involved), Ron asked me what I was going to do with the flower pots. He said that he worked with DEA photographers who were always using concealed cameras for surveillance. I hope that the flower pots were helpful.
