Description
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Humanities and Social Sciences Interviews with different people at seller’s row while packing and leaving the swap meet. This tape, along with the next three, work well to present a comprehensive view of the swap meet from different angles. “I think every county should have a place like this. The people pay for this stuff.” “Man came out and said he was going to give us a ticket, fine and go to jail for six months if we didn’t pick up all our stuff.” An assortment of people are interviewed on this tape, a good cross section. The focus of the seller’s comments revolves around the constant difficulty in working the swap meet. Audio and video are generally strong for duration of tape.
