This is the name I first used in high school when I did the morning announcements over the P.A. system. I portrayed a deep-voiced anchorman named George Harris, and Emil Wiley was a high-pitched, nervous sounding reporter. I would often switch back and forth between the voices. For example, George Harris would say, "Reporting live from the lunchroom with today's menu is Emil Wiley. Emil are you there?" "Uh, yeah, George, today's menu is a choice of Salisbury steak, or hoagies with mashed potatoes and corn. Dessert will be yellow cake with chocolate icing. That's it from the lunchroom, back to you, George.
So, in an effort to have a bit of fun, I'm resurrecting Emil Wiley as my pen name for some of the weird things I write and take pictures of.
For my first post, I'd like to share a short video I shot in the summer of 2006 as a homage to a stunt David Blaine did called "Drowned Alive." My version is called "Batman Buried Alive."
Here's the Blaine video:
And here's my homage:
