Manhatten [Woody Allen]

This is such a good movie with the excellent
Woody Allen and Diane Keaton.
I like the opening to the movie as it
is almost a series of black and white stills,
very cleverly stitched together along with
Woody's poetic language. Manhattan is a 1979 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Woody Allen about a twice-divorced 42-year-old comedy writer who dates a 17-year-old girl before eventually falling in love with his best friend's mistress. eNjoy!!

NEW LEICA CAMERA OUT!!

So the new Leica M-Monochrom black-and-white 18MP rangefinder
is out and about and shoots
in black n white only!! £6000!! I would LOVE one!!
I like the idea of taking the color out of the equation
leaving less to get in the way of making a decent
photograph. Kind of goes back to the tradition
of things...Robert Frank territory!!

anton Bragaglia

Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890 – 1960)

Between 1912 - 1916 Bragaglia, a photographer associated with the Italian Futurist Art Movement, took a number of photos using slow shutter speeds to depict continuous rather than sequential motion. He coined the term 'Photodynamism' to label these kinds of photographs. "Anton Bragaglia's photography makes visible that which the eye itself cannot perceive. This ambition was achieved by means of capturing in a single image the flowing trajectories of objects in motion, made visible by long exposure times." Dr.Hugo Heyrman, media professor. Art and Synesthesia (http://www.doctorhugo.org/synaesthesia/art).
