Filmmaker Xander Robin commemorated the Kodachrome’s 75th and final year with this mini documentary about the film and the last shop that could develop it. For those of you who didn’t know, Kodachrome was the first commercial color film on the market beginning in 1936 and ending production in 2009. The last Kodachrome development lab, Dwayne’s Photo, in Kansas stopped processing the film in 2010 due to the shortage of chemicals available.

Ansel is a legend, and I realized after watching this documentary that I didn’t really know as much about him as I thought. PBS has done a great job and made this a part of their history series called The American Experience.

You never know what you’ll run into and maybe you’ll be one of the few to catch something extraordinary on film. Friends Liberty Smith and Sophie Windsor Clive had such a moment while canoeing the River Shannon and found themselves surrounded by one of nature’s most beautiful phenomenons; a murmuration of starlings.

Here’s a cool and moving glimpse into photographer Andrew Clancy’s time in New York, mostly shot on his 7D or S95. The song is great too, ‘We Don’t Eat” by his fellow Irishman James Vincent McMorrow.

What do you get when you take 3 guys, 44 days of travel through 11 countries, on 18 flights covering over 38,000 miles? You get 3 awesome short films by independent Melbourne filmmaker Rick Mereki and friends. The trip of a lifetime was actually commissioned by STA Australia and resulted in 3 ambitious concepts: Move, Eat, Learn that were accompanied by the wonderful music of Kelsey James. Be Inspired!
