About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

FYI ~ see it, you'll like it

Last evening the wife and I, along with The Cinemascapist and family, attended the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour event in Lake Placid. The event was a screening of 9 films selected from the many film entries at last year's Banff Mountain Film Festival.

Notable amongst the selected films was the film ECLIPSE which chronicled the quest by photographer Reuben Krabbe to make a rather mission-impossible, once-in-a-lifetime possibility picture - that of a skier silhouetted against a solar eclipse. The film and the resulting picture - yes, he nailed it - is visually stunning and the story is rather compelling.

You can view the entire film in full-screen HD - ECLIPSE - highly recommended (the film is about 30 minutes long).

And, the BMFFWT might be coming to a location near you. You can check the schedule / locations here - Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour locations
