Video update

Just a couple interesting photography-related videos worth watching. The first comes from Mijonju, who runs Circle Rectangle, as well as the Mijonju Show. Worth watching is an appearance by the famous Skorj and his famous 600SE, talking about street shots. Sorry the entire screen doesn't show here...seems to be cut off on the right. You can watch on YouTube for the full effect.



It's all true...most common phrase I used in Japan (besides sumimasen)? "Shashin o totemo ii desu ka?" Most common response: "Watashi? Hayako!" At least from the ojisan.
A good scene of Skorj breaking down his 600SE (and wasting what might be a precious 665 shot?). And Artsyken gets instant notoriety as his name falls from Skorj's lips. Check out the other Mijonju vids, as well...all good stuff. \

Second we have a Filmwasters video podcast that includes my backwards-peeled polaroid video from an earlier post, plus some other interesting stuff by some other interesting people. I didn't realize how bored I sound until I rewatched this...but that's probably how I always sound. Too cool for school.

And we also have the Impossible Project press conference, announcing the new PX film.



At one point, Doc mentions that they are the only company in the world capable of producing new instant film or something along those lines, which isn't true. But I'll chalk it up to excitement and marketing. Interesting times ahead! You can now order PX100 First Flush for $21 a pack.

And, in the same vein, here is an incredibly long SX-70 promo video from the 1970s. The volume is very low, but worth a watch. Explains how the camera works...



And, just because, here is the new Caribou video. You might want to turn the volume back down after the SX-70 video. Or, better yet, don't!



And I've been on a Ned's Atomic Dustbin kick recently.



We'll see what's cooking for my next post. Plan on fixing a 545 back for my Mamiya Universal. I have some Type 50 film to use and don't have a large format camera...sounds like a good use for it! And, I will grab a couple packs of the new PX film and let you all know what I think of it.
Seeya.
