Has this ever been used in a movie or TV? Come oooon! How perfect is this? Either opening montage or a climactic night scene.

Ah... good point, but no fair, the movie was about them (partly)
- Adrian
;) ...but you're right, it would be great for dramatic effect
- LogEx
Ayse, your post on facebook about sad songs made me think of this song.
- Adrian
Thx for the link, Adrian! Sometimes the mood strikes...
- Ayşe E.
If you haven't seen it, rent the movie Control. I was never a Joy Division fan - and I'm still reluctant to call myself one - but the movie gave me a new appreciation for their music. Plus - it's absolutely *gorgeous*.

Is it me, or has this place sort of come back to life since the whole *dead* hubbub? I know, I've been around more...

Hey! How about a reggae version of Jesus Christ Superstar? Bounty Killer as Judas for sure!
jamar78, Carlos Ayala, vicster and Anika liked this
He's got that crazy voice that can hit the highs and the lows with equal resolve. Ooooh. Why did I never think of this before...
- Adrian
Because we were so wrapped up in our hip-hop version of JCS.
- Anika
Can Patra be Mary Magdalene? Elephant Man as Simon! Beenie Man as Pilate. Oooh, this will be fun.
- Anika
Sugar Minott can be King Herod!
- Anika
Yes on all three of the above, although I have a clever alternate for Pilate, since he was a foreigner: Wycleff (I know cross conflict with the hip hop JCS cast but still...)
- Adrian
I'd accept Wyclef. As long as Sean Paul isn't in our movie, I'm cool. :)
- Anika
Ehhh.... Sean Paul can be one of the vendors in the market scene... as long as he doesn't *grand stand*, hehehe
- Adrian
I also think that with his voice, Bounty Killer would be a better Caiphas.
- Anika
Sooo... who the hell plays Jesus?
- Adrian
Then who is Judas?
- Adrian
How about Cocoa Tea as Jesus? Elephant Man could be a good Judas.
- Adrian
Ooh, good one one on the Cocoa Tea. Is Ken Boothe still alive? He can be Annas.
- Anika
And, I'd accept Prince Buster as King Herrod too.
- Anika
Is he still alive?
- Adrian
Don't know on Ken Boothe. BRB
- Adrian
Prince Buster is still alive, but he's like 70.
- Anika
I'd like Sizzla as JC
- jamar78
Yes both Godfathers are still with us, Jah be PRAISED!!
- Adrian
I think Mr. Vegas can be Peter.
- Anika
Sizzla would be a great JC.
- Adrian
Has the potential to be the baddest soundtrack ever!!
- jamar78
Hell yeah!
- Adrian
What about Luciano, who could he play? He'd have to have a part in this movie
- jamar78
Oooh, good one. Luciano can be Annas.
- Anika
Bob Marley = Jesus.
- Carlos Ayala
Who was the guy in the movie with the big ass black hat? I think he was a guard or something, had a hella baritone voice...think Buju would be great for that part
- jamar78
Can we keep a spot for King Tubby too please?
- Carlos Ayala
Carlos, I don't know how to break it to you, but Bob Marley is dead. =)
- Anika
Damn.
- Carlos Ayala
Peter Tosh?
- Carlos Ayala
And there's only 9 characters in the play, so everyone else will have to be background players or those people who play the reporters or the people at the camp who recognize Peter.
- Anika
Dead too Carlos
- jamar78
;)
- Carlos Ayala
If Carlos mentions Alton Ellis next, we won't let him play our reindeer games any more.

- Adrian
In that case Anika please do NOT care about me
- jamar78

- Adrian
We need an official *cockpunch* thread... whatever that entails. Has there ever been one?
- Adrian
not sure if I want to take part in that thread LOL
- jamar78
OMG. I just looked this up on Wikipedia. To help us gauge who can play what part, it gave ranges! Jesus Christ -Tenor/Countertenor, Judas Iscariot -Tenor, Mary Magdalene - Alto, Pontius Pilate - Baritone, Caiaphas - Bass, Annas -Tenor, Peter -Baritone, Simon Zealotes - Tenor, King Herod -Tenor

Anika, Eric @ CS Techcast and Joe liked this
It's here! Picked this baby up on Ebay for $10 (ok, $21 w/shipping). The Olympus Trip 35 with fixed 40mm/2.8 Zuiko lens, zone focusing (1m/1.5m/3m/infinity), automatic exposure with aperture priority override, and powered by a Selenium solar cell, so it requires NO batteries what-so-ever. Ever. Alton was more than eager to take it for a spin. :D

edythe, Cheryl Jones, Yant and 32 other people liked this
These were made from 1968 to 1984 and something like 8 million were sold. The fast, multicoated Zuiko lens is what made it special and it's built like a tank, but also quiet, small, and light (for a metal body camera).
- Adrian
Seems to work ok mechanically, light meter checks out, but the light seals are kinda gunky. If that's the only problem, then it should be golden, as it's an easy fix. Loaded it with film but haven't fired it yet. Tomorrow...
- Adrian
It is beautiful
- RAPatton
Awesome find.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
That solar cell surrounding the lens gives it some shag-a-delic bling. :D
- Adrian
sweet street shooter that
- Bill Scherer
solar cell. Pretty cool!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
Yep, that is a street shooter indeed. The zone focusing is so very ideal for shooting from the hip compared to an SLR or rangefinder. Basically, you have 4 choices for focus and you can switch it without even looking because it clicks into place. On an SLR, you have to look down to see what the marking are unless you are a focus-ring Jedi-Ninja.
- Adrian
Wow. Can't wait to see some results. I predict these will now be impossible to find for less than $100 on eBay since we all want one now.
- Steve is older than ever
Nah, there's millions of them out there. The demand is on the Canonets and Yashica GSN's in this class, from my couple of weeks watching the ebay market.

I forgot I had put on onion soup and not spaghetti, which was what i intended. food goes bad in 1.2 times the time it took you to cook it, and i figured i could get home and take it off, but NOPE. so now i took the door off and i'm doing cheesecakes to make up for it.
- DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
I did that with fruit salad instead of kabobs once. 9 stoves of rotten fruit salad. YUM.

TRI-X!! - I *finally* got the roll of Kodax Tri-X400 developed. I shot these in Little Tokyo (downtown LA) when I first got my Oly OM-1. The results are pretty striking compared to the C41 process black and white Kodak film I've been using. Must shoot more of this.

The night shots are on a tripod. Soo glad I brought it. Shot with the self timer too.

These are great, but they do look much better on your monitor.
- Anika
Thanks all! Now I really want to go back to downtown at night with a tripod. I did not know what I was doing when I shot these and was just getting used to the camera's viewfinder which is a bear in the dark.
- Adrian
wtb a photoshop filter that does the same thing
- Will Higgins™
Next time I'm in LA for general work drudgery, I'm gonna plan an extra day for a long-overdue downtown photo walk!
- vicster
Vicster, we *love* shooting downtown. If you search my flickr photos for "downtown los angeles", I have thousands of photos! There's so much texture, so much awesome lighting. My favorite thing to do is to search Jason Burns 'Archiving LA' posts on LA Metblogs. It's neat to find shots taken 50, 60, 90 years ago and match them up to where I was.
- Anika
Vicster, give us a shout when you do!
- Adrian
Definitely!
- vicster
Tri-X is awesome
- Glen Campbell
gorrrrrrr-geous.
- edythe
i find downtown very inspiring, too, and want to get back down there soon. Adrian, the ones at night, you used a tripod as well as a flash? Or just a tripod?
- edythe
i love your photos.
- DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
Thanks MO, Edythe and everyone else! Edythe, I used only a tripod, no flash. I tripped the shutter with the self-timer, and used a long exposure of probably a second, maybe less (didn't take notes).
- Adrian
And just so you guys know, this is how the photos come off the film. There is very minimal processing I've done on just a few of these. And on those that I did, I actually had to *lower* the contrast to bring back some of the highlights, but that's it!
- Adrian
LOVE.
- cecily
Did you process these yourself?
- cecily
Nope, lab done. I meant digital post-processing.
- Adrian
oooh! You could do some truly delightfully evil and cool things with an off-camera flash and a long exposure!
- vicster
That would be really cool in a very dark area with people moving about the frame. I've seen photos with the LED flashlights and other LED toys mixed with long exposures, but never with flash.
- Adrian
Love the grain of Tri-X (not to mention the composition, subjects, etc.)
- Steve is older than ever
Thanks Steve, I dig the grain too. I dig it a lot. :D I think my composition is a little off on some of these, but in general I'm ok. I need to get contacts again so I don't keep battling the viewfinder with my glasses.
- Adrian
Damn Adrian those are really good man.
