Once again we were in downtown Atlanta for this weekend's show. This time, above ground.

More behind the scenes shots from this weekend's episode of "News To Me" (including Eric laying down on the job)

Eric laying down on the job

Shooting in the field can be a draining experience... lots of walking from location to location carrying all the gear, setting up the scene, waiting for the sound of the airplane overhead to dissipate, shooting each line several times (sometimes from different angles each time), crowd control... it's an active day. So when the opportunity to lay down for a second comes up... we tend to take it. Now, I'm not saying that it was Eric's idea to be laying down to shoot the scene in the pic above... but he sure didn't object to it! Look close on the show and you'll see my backpack making a cameo as Eric's "pillow."

How do we get to CNN Center?

Downtown Atlanta can be a little overwhelming for the first timer... or the easily confused. None of us are first timers, but I think we all fall into the latter category. Luckily, in the shot above, we found an Ambassador to set us straight. "Which way to CNN Center?"

Welcome to Atlanta!

See if you can spot any of those shots on "News To Me" Saturday and Sunday on CNN Headline News!
