Seems like everything I like is swallowed up by a bigger fish. I believe that iView will be bundled with the operating system and the "pro" version will be sold separately. iView began life on the mac . I use it to generate the galleries you see on this site and for managing (finding and cataloguing) images. It's one of those programs where you never need to open a manual or look up anything in help. Very straight-foward user interface. So I guess it's all part of the war to manage images. My guess is that Microsoft will "integrate" a raw conversion program into it.

"I have had my fun
And if I never get well no more
I have had my fun
And if I never get well no more
Yes my health is fading on me
Yes, I'm goin' down slow"

Mermaids and More
Turned out to be an excellent day for shooting at Mermaid Day. First I visited the ocean and it was nice and misty. I shot a lot with the red filter. The parachute jump had been painted bright red. Maybe it was that way last year but I didn't notice. Lots of crusty characters around. Fortunately, the roller coaster wasn't running so I didn't take my ride. The train ride out was fruitful, as was the ride back. All in all - a magical day.

Prints on Display
30 of my prints have been installed at the Palace Restaurant - 2nd floor - 122 East 57th street. I had lunch there today and took a few shots which I'll post after the weekend. This is not exactly gallery representation - but they looked damned good. In case you do stop by - they are not on the Silver Rag paper. I didn't have enough of it at the time - but either on Ilford Pearl or Epson Luster.

Cinematographer
In 1982 I worked as an all around production assistant, bag carrier, dolly-pusher etc. on a film called Wild Style. It was produced / directed by Charlie Ahearn - and mostly shot in the Bronx. There was a lot of work done in small hip-hop clubs and this is a shot of one of the cinematographers - John Foster. The film was either the first or one of the first films to combine tagging and rap. I can assure you that I had no idea that it would document something that would go on and on...
You can read more about the film here: IMDB.
I did take pictures of the rappers and writers - but where they are - no idea. Fab Five Freddy gave me a nickname of "Animal" which stuck with me for a few other films. Animal was the slovenly photographer on the Lou Grant show. And as was - and still is - usual for me - I had grown a scruffy beard by the end of the shoot and wasn't very good about wearing fresh clothing.
