Report from the Monastery

Posted on April 7th, 2010 Written on michael's blog

Â 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, built in 1274.Â Good condition. This week we are living at Renscombe Farm in the village of Worth Matravers on the south coast of England. The house was once a monastery, built in the 13th Century. The original Abbey of Cerne. The walls are are stone, as are the floors and the rooms are small. I can stand in the halls, but Lisa, at 6 foot, has some problems with head-banging. What the Abbey does have, however, is WiFi, which is why I am able to write this. When Kin

Where is Larry King? CNN, once the very cutting edge of broadcast news may be about finished. Michael Hirshorn, writing in New York Magazine this week says as much. Last week, Nielsen reported that CNN had lost roughly half its prime-time viewers in the first quarter of 2010 compared with a year earlier, despite news events like the Haiti earthquake. Meanwhile, Fox New's talk radio on TV propelled it to second place among all cable networks in the same time period. In 2009, led by the

Haiti Earthquake Aftermath Montage from Khalid Mohtaseb on Vimeo. Videojournalist Khalid Mohtaseb covers the Haiti earthquake with a 5dmkII DSLR Newshooter is a fantastic online resource for the revolution in 35mm cameras moving to video news production. Mohtaseb's work is stunning, as is his story. Clearly, the working news VJ has an enormous opportunity to greatly expand their video power in the field. We used to say 'keep it in wide and never touch the zoom'. This was because of the rapid collapse of the depth of field in most small camcorders.Â They are cheap and good but the price you pay was in the lensing. Now, Canon and Nikon, makers of great lenses, are marrying their lens capability, so well known for stills, to video. All of this was shot with the Canon 5D Mark II Â

VJ and Home Work

Posted on March 31st, 2010 Written on michael's blog

9 AM in the edit suite The New York Times this week reported on an interesting experiment that was tried at Inc Magazine. They created their April issue from home, without going to the office. Well, why some stuff makes The Times is often beyond me. News this is not, at least not to us. For the past three years we have managed three hyperlocal TV stations for cable. Long Island, DC and Northern New Jersey. None of them have studios, or offices, or carpeting, or watercoolers or receptionist

An Obituary for Professional Photographers

Posted on March 30th, 2010 Written on michael's blog

Definitely donât moveâ¦ Margaret Bourke-White was on the cutting edge of a lot of change. She was a woman photographer when there were almost none. She was a war correspondent, photog for Life Magazine, member of Magnum. She traveled the globe with camera in hand gathering some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. What a fantastic career. Never again. Never again because technology, of several stripes, has rendered her work if not superfluous, then merely commonplace.Â I am not
