Please accept my apologies for the shameless promotion, but I'd like to share a YouTube video of a TV interview of me talking about film photography, black and white darkroom work, and using my Leica in the street. The video is viewable here:
BrianLehrer.tv: The importance of libraries - YouTube It starts at Minute #46, so you need to scroll past the other interviews by moving the timeline at the bottom of the screen. Enjoy.

Thanks Paul.

Very interesting feature about your work and very relevant comments about the film / digital divide. Hope the show has gone well.
Strange that people here can be affronted by the idea of discussion on current affairs!

There Seems to be Some Confusion...

Sorry for the confusion, everyone. The link was included, but it didn't seem to open from this screen: Brian Lehrer.tv: The importance of libraries - YouTube
The segment that I'm on talks about my work on Ellis Island and why I still use film. It has nothing to do with prisons. Hopefully, it will be accessible.

Interesting video about a bit of history and nice promotion of film use. Thank you for posting. I found it by searching youtube for The importance of Libraries. Good luck with the show.

Thank you, Agx. I'm a Luddite and a great deal of this techie stuff escapes me. To repeat from my earlier post: my segment starts at Minute #46, and you need to move the timeline thingy along past the other interviews.

Paul, I viewed the video and I recognized your work on Ellis Island from somewhere. Very nice images!

You did a nice job on the interview. The pure digital crowd might not understand but those of us who shoot film sure do.

Fascinating. My knowledge of Ellis Island is confined to Vito Corleone's arrival but it is clearly is a place worth visiting. Part of the history of New York and deserves to be preserved. Nice to see a film enthusiast being interviewed.

Very enjoyable segment, Paul. The link AgX kindly supplied worked just fine and then merely by clicking on the video advance bar at minute 46 gets you right there.
I was especially intrigued by the "ghostly nurse" image and the "broken window pane" with the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty. Both are interesting perspectives.
A very nice interview overall, congratulations.

Very interesting segment on the video - I enjoyed your interview.
Regarding the "ghost nurse," I wonder what people would imagine if they thought it was a different type of ward.

(So, I go out and take pictures today, and miss some posts that are now deleted, lol.)

Truzi, you didn't miss much. They didn't even make much sense.
