Powell Street Cable Care Turntable

While in San Fransico for the CROI I shot this piece. In an age of high tech and automation, it is refreshing to see a 120 year old system that relies on "hand power" to turn the cablecars around! Check here for more info about the SF Cable Cars! [contact-form 1 "Contact ...

The Mini Guppy

Some day soon I’ll create a technical page about this site to talk about the infrastructure, themes, plug ins [...]

CriticalPast.Com

Occasionally I stumble across really cool things while surfing the net. CriticalPast.com is one such thing! A collection of royalty free archival footage and stills. The images can be searched and previewed for free, but there is a charge to download “professional” versions. I’m looking forward to doing some research in this archive for a [...]

Thumbnail image for Film Review: A Taste of Cherry
