Photographing Stagg Hall Print Shop Units

Charles County arranged for a drone pilot to take still pictures from the air of the print shop units that have been excavated in front of Stagg Hall.  Once the pictures are taken, the units will be back filled.  Denise and Elsie assisted Esther Doyle Reed, Charles County Archaeologist, in preparing the units for their "screen preview".   (Denise and Elsie are just two of the many CCASM members that were involved in the excavating the units.)
Units Ready for Their Picture to be Taken
On Wednesday November 15 Charles County employees Brent Huber, Video Production Specialist, and Eva Lightfoot, Photographer, assisted Esther Reed in directing the shoot.  And Lt. David Kelly from the Charles County Sheriff's Office piloted the drone.  In addition to the pictures of the units some pictures were taken from a higher elevation to show the location of the units in relation to both Stagg Hall and the village as a whole.

The pictures were downloaded from the drone to Brent's tablet at the end of the shoot, and the county will process them.

After the units are back filled some of the pictures from today's shoot can be used in Stagg Hall to show visitors what the units looked like when they were open.  Also some of the pictures could be used by Esther for presentations to archaeology conferences and by the county in tourism material.

Thanks to Elsie for the information and to Elsie and Denise for the photos.
