From Joe: Analog v Digital Audio

John,

Could you forward this to our group?  The article link address I've copied and pasted below.  

He discusses analog audio vs. Digital, and apparently intends a follow up article next issue regarding film vs. digital video.

Very interesting.

Best,
Joe

From Barbara: Regarding multiple exposures

Hi all

re multi-exposures

see below from a friend re exhibit at Museum of the City of New York

Barbara Nelson

 

I have just seen a fantastic photography exhibit at The Museum of The City of New York by Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao entitled “New York  Assembled Realities”.

 

The photographer has created multiple exposures into large composited panorama photographs of New York City sometimes to include 400 images.

 

It is worth a visit to see how he has turned these scenes into new views, scenes that a person would not be able to take in as a single shot.

This exhibit runs until February 15, 2015.

 

While you are at the museum also stop and look at “Letters To Afar”, a video art installation, by the artist, Peter Forgacs, who has taken home movies made by Polish Jews who returned to visit their homeland to document that visit with their families and the small towns they left behind. The movies were taken in the 1920s and 1930s.

Very poignant and takes a bit adjusting to the many screens which are separated into different stories and spoken words.

This exhibit runs until March 22, 2015.

Enjoy and get the inspiration!
