Review: The Sleeping Bear, feature film

Review: The Sleeping Bear, feature film

How did I end up here? Where am I? I am standing on a stage, facing a crowd somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 people. I’m standing in the dark, and no one is looking at me. Some of the crowd has on tuxedos, most are in suits or cocktail dresses, and everyone is waiting patiently, looking beautiful. I am at the City Opera House in Traverse City, Michigan and we’re waiting for the independent feature film premier of The Sleeping Bear; an idea spawned in the mind of Richard Cameron White in 2007, which has come to fruition three days shy of 2012. White is speaking to the audience stage left. (keep reading)

Leica M9 Rangefinder: a first-time-use photo stroll

A couple of days ago I had the privilege of using a Leica M9 rangefinder. A good friend of mine was gracious enough to allow me to borrow it for the afternoon. Him and I have been chatting for a while about photography and where it can and can’t go (by it I mean me). He is obviously a Leica shooter and I am not – this is a place that I have wanted to explore and test my skill and patience. I have been stuck in a world of photographer that has really allowed myself to disassociate with what I am physically doing and “letting” my camera do all the work (even shooting manual!). I have been very interested in…..

Review: retroCamera

I’m not an iPhone’r. I’m an Android’r. Actually, I was really late to the tech bandwagon, only getting a smart phone this last fall. I can remember about two years ago sitting on my couch with a friend while she made fun of me because I was trying to text the word ‘the’ or something lame like that and was struggling. She then reprogrammed my phone so it would do predictive writing – and that was the beginning of my descent of being hooked on being “connected.”

Meanwhile, I have a cell phone that has a 5 megapixel sensor in it. I am a “professional” photographer that operated successfully with a Canon 20D from 2005 to May 2010, which was an 8 megapixel body, before I upgraded to the 7D. I know it’s a completely different type of sensor, but I was printing 48″ prints on that 20D. A phone that is 5mp?!? That’s nuts. I’ve come a long way in the two last years.

Lately I’ve been noticing all the things that the iPhone’s camera can do with all of it’s retro and trendy settings. They’re all over …
