Last week the city of Los Angeles welcomed Space Shuttle Endeavor to it’s new home, the California Science Center. The four-day journey through the streets of LA to the Science Center was captured beautifully in time-lapse in so many great angles by Matthew Givot and his small army of collaborators which included Joe Capra, Chris Pritchard, Brian Hawkins, Andrew Walker & Ryan Killackey and more.

This has been an amazing experience that I will never forget. My hope is that this film will show you the amount of dedicated people and teamwork that it took to get the Endeavour to its new home.—Matt Givot

The passionate photographer Ian Ruhter has given up his normal life in L.A. to create amazing wet plate images around the country in his converted Van/Camera/Darkroom. Silver and Light is shows some highs and lows of his ongoing journey making one-of-a-kind images, some of which can cost as much as $500 a piece just to produce . Ian and his crew are traveling the country looking for interesting people and places to shoot, so check out there facebook and maybe join in on the fun.

If you’re a vintage camera lover like us, you’ll love PrismYard. It’s a fun tumblr/pinterest style site where you can pick the kind of cameras you’re interested in seeing and a whole stream of images is ready to stroll through. It’s relatively new, so there aren’t thousands of images on there yet, but it’s still inspiring site. If you’ve got a collection you want to show the world, they’re accepting submissions.

The principles are the same, but wow how things have changed.

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.
