Ex-Boston Herald photographer based in the desert southwest. I do travel and aviation photography. Check 6/Keep 6. Come visit when the snow gets too much.
Airshow Rain ... GREAT! https://t.co/TiSUKgOPy7 sure it's a gamble, but isn't all photography? When the prediction is for rain, head to show center and hold on for the experience! @BedfordCamera@NikonUSA#NikonAmbassador#NikonPro
BEAUTIFUL! Photographer Simon J. Gerber shared these amazing photos of a bobcat hanging out on a saguaro. Gerber said he was hiking in the desert and that it was a blessing to see. We can't agree more!
Disney’s "America’s Heart and Soul” from 2004 was director-cinematographer Louis Schwartzberg’s passion project: a 84-minute theatrical documentary that stitched together roughly two dozen vignettes of everyday “unsung heroes” across America...coal miners, rodeo cowboys, inner-city boxers, rug weavers, and father-son wheelchair athletes...into an uplifting mosaic of work ethic, dreams, and perseverance.
Released on July 2, 2004 (right before the Fourth of July) by Walt Disney Pictures as a limited theatrical run, it was filmed entirely on 35mm and became an unlikely counter-programming note to more divisive docs of the era.
Schwartzberg shot 100 stories guerilla-style and burned through over a million feet of 35mm film before whittling it down: He started collecting footage two decades earlier while running his stock-footage empire (Energy Productions), then sold the company outright to focus full-time on this passion project. The final cut kept only about 24–25 tales; the rest were dropped purely for emotional “bridge” flow between stories rather than quality.
Schwartzberg’s mother and father met as teenagers in post-war relocation camps after Auschwitz; they arrived in the U.S. in 1949 with nothing. Their immigrant story of resilience shaped his drive to celebrate “the spiritual core” of everyday Americans without sounding preachy.
@UncleWalt1971 Don’t remember this in theatres but I was probably wrapped up in a Boston Pops Goes the Fourth concert on the Esplanade.
Found it on Disney +. I’ll give it a watch. 😎
In May 2026, photographer Jim Chamberlain joined an air-to-air photography workshop at the Dakota Territory Air Museum in Minot, North Dakota. Flying aboard a Beechcraft Bonanza photo platform, he photographed the museum’s award-winning Republic P-47 Thunderbolt Bonnie and rare Hawker Hurricane in flight, gaining a unique perspective on the skill, teamwork, and dedication required to keep these historic WWII warbirds flying. https://t.co/UggUuvT2vV

These pics are PURE GOLD! Steven Spielberg and Michael Moore –second-unit director– took Ke Huy Quan to the parking lot at Warner Bros. Studios to see how the kid looked behind the wheel of the huge Duesenberg they were going to use in the filming of Temple of Doom.
"They say a warrior dies twice. Once when they take their last breath, and once when their name is spoken for the last time. Pedro 66 will never suffer that second death. Not while we refuse to forget." 🎗️- Lt.Col. Brough McDonald

For Robert Altman’s “Popeye," entire town of Sweethaven was built as a real, permanent wooden village on the coast of Malta. Altman refused cheap Hollywood facades and imported planks and shingles to construct a fully functional seaside hamlet with actual buildings, a recording studio, editing rooms, and living quarters. It went massively over budget but still stands today as the tourist attraction “Popeye Village” in Anchor Bay.
This weekend I made a trip up to Saint Louis to see the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show & STEM Expo. One of my goals is to try to attend an airshow that I’ve never seen before each year. This was my first time at the Saint Louis show.
