Bill and Jeffery respond to feedback about workshops & websites, famous people buying Leicas, and why taking less pictures is better. Then Bill recounts being ignored by Philip Glass and his methodology behind a group shot of 10 people. Of course Edward Steichen, our photographer of the week, could have done a better job I’m sure.

Show Notes

Lost Memories (Ferracci created the film as an entry to a competition in Paris that asked filmmakers to imagine what the future will be like. It was shot using a Canon 5D Mark II. Although writing, filming, and editing the footage took only about a day, adding in all the visual effects took Ferracci half a year to complete.):

    Their take on the Leica “Fashion” trend. Especially the part about the “retro” sheek. Old curmudgeon “old man river” is exactly what you have become. But the sad thing old curmudgeon perspective is morally correct.
