As NBC transitions out of Burbank for good (with the exception of Leno in studio 11), rare photos have been surfacing of the construction, the equipment and most importantly, the people. Probably as you did, we fed our families and put kids through college, thanks in part to 3000 West Alameda Ave. So there is a soft spot in the hearts of many for the good fortune to have worked there it it's peak.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">David Crosthwait<br>DC Video<i><br></i><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br>3071 North Lima St.<br>Burbank, CA. 91504<br>818-563-1073<br>818-563-1177 (fax)<br>818-285-9942 (cell)<br><br><a href="mailto:david@dcvideo.com">david@dcvideo.com</a><br>www.dcvideo.com<br><br>Follow DC Video on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dcvideo">https://www.facebook.com/dcvideo</a><br></font><br><br></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></div>

Two of my friends from the TV station we worked at actually worked the event (They are in a couple of the photos). I was on vacation in Memphis and tagged along to shoot the pictures. As you know, in those days, security wasn't anything like it is today. I walked onto the golf course easily and without challenge over several days of the event.

Occasionally, my photography was not welcome. But mostly, no one ever told me not to shoot photos. Most of the time, I'd ask if it was OK and except for some rare instances, the subjects did not object. I never heard from management to not shoot pictures at 30 Rock at the time. I suppose that's because I never published the photos until many years later. In addition, I usually did not shoot photos of NBC talent working. My interest was the facility, not the talent.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I had always thought that the photos would be of interest in the future; to see how the studios and facilities have changed.
