Sur-veillance: "eye in the sky" watching over from above
"Surveillance"
is French for "to watch from above".
This "eye in the sky" surveillance dome camera on a high steel pole embodies
that quintessential watchful gaze from above.
The pole, manufactured in 2003, is a
DYNAPOLE CANADA hollow structural steel
pole with screw down base on J-bolts set in concrete in the parking lot
outside the new student services building where the June 4th dinner banquet
took place; the picture was captured at McMaster University on
Saturday June 5th, 2004, after an
Alumni Hall of Fame
(McMaster Gallery) induction ceremony.
June 5, 2004, McMaster University parking lot, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Captured using a modified Nikon D2h, with wearable computer system, late in the
afternoon.
