Olympic Portraits, NBC, Worldwide Photo Walk
August 08, 2008 10:15 AM
Check out the Olympic portraits by Los Angeles Times Staff Photographer Jay Clendenin featured in the Olympic special section in the newspaper and at the LA Times Website with downloadable PDFs. The shots were produced using a Zone V, 4-by- 5-inch camera on Polaroid film. The film, developed by Edwin Land, will be discontiuned this year with just
enough made to last throught 2009. The Poloraoid camera was first sold to the public in November of 1948 and was discontinued last year. While there was a certain kind magic of watching photos develop in your hands, it certainly couldn’t compete with the digital photography revolution. Be sure to check out the beautiful portraits.
Just downloaded the Microsoft Silverlight player from the NBC website to watch Olympic highlights and coveage on the computer. It’s still not the same as watching it on big a 16:9 flat-screen TV. Too many commercials!If your interested, don’t forget to sign up for the Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk scheduled for
August 23, 2008. The social photography event has a little bit of commerical overtones because it’s connected to celebrate the release of Kelby’s new Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers. Even with the commercialism involved, it should be a fun event and a chance to meet photographers in your area. It certainly appears to be a well organized event considering the size and will give you a chance to dust off the trusty DSLR or point-and-shoot and mix it up the other photographers.Have a nice weekend - RL
