CamerosityEpisode 49: The 35mm Half-Frame Gold RushIn the history of the 20th century photo industry, there have been countless cameras made by countless companies from countless countries. Of all those cameras, one subset of film photography seems to appeal to a larger number than most, the 35mm half-frame camera. Originally the only size for still photography on 35mm film, single frame fell out of favor after World War II, but saw a huge resurgence in the 1960s with half-frame models being released by nearly every company who made cameras.
In this, the 49th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, Anthony, Theo, Paul, and Mike we...2023-05-201h 40
Full Cast And Crew149. 'The Color of Money' (1986)After a two-week hiatus...and a hilariously unexpected detour in our attempt to do "The Manchurian Candidate" on this episode, my guest Keir Graff and I pivoted to 'The Color of Money' and I'm so glad we did. This episode features a lot of great stories about the making of the film, and also includes plenty of necessary discussion about 'The Hustler', specifically Piper Laurie, Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, and George C. Scott's performances in that original film, the shared origin of the novels by the prolific, alcoholic, (and ultimately recovered) novelist Walter Tevis, who ALSO wrote...2023-04-051h 43

neu•gierigTime for bed – Keir WhitakerI know Keir for quite some time now and every time we sit down and chat, it turns out to be an interesting conversation. Sometimes about events, then about family and life as kind of a “digital nomad”. I mean we both life in a house and have a family with kids, but for neither of us it really matters from where we work and that leads to the fact, that it sometimes is our home office, sometimes a cafe or alike. For both of us it is important to find the right balance between time for family and work, but...2016-09-2044 min
