iPad Lights Up Photoshoot
Published November 16, 2010 Photography 4 CommentsTags: ipads, jesse rosten, photo shoot
Is there no end to the joy the iPad brings? In a creative stunt, filmmaker Jesse Rosten did a photo shoot of a model using nine iPads as his light source. Giving off 1/60, f1.4 at ISO800 from about 1.5 feet (he measured) he figured the idea wasn’t half bad. And it worked, even though Rosten fully admits it’s impractical — it’s not as if this is the wave of the future given the ease in just using ordinary bulbs. But it’s fun and full of high-tech whimsy, and who couldn’t use more of that?

New Haven Asst. Police Chief Arrests Man for iPhone Video

A fish rots from the head down. Especially in the New Haven (CT) police department. That’s where Assistant Chief Ariel Melendez ordered the arrest of Luis Luna for filming an altercation with his iPhone one early morning in September. Luna, 26, says police took his iPhone, erased the video he took of officers breaking up a fight outside a bar, and then charged him with interfering with police. He spent the night in jail.
Assistant Chief Melendez noticed Luna and approached him “in a very intimidating manner,” Luna recalled. He asked what Luna was doing.
“I said, ‘Filming,’” Luna recalled. “He grabbed my phone and walked away.”
Melendez ordered officer Kristen Fitzgerald to arrest Luna for interfering.
“I just could not believe it,” Luna said.
Apparently this isn’t the first time police in New Haven have been caught harassing and even confiscating camera phones in the recent past. But still, Police Chief Frank Limon claims that he knows filming police is not illegal.
Assistant Chief Melendez didn’t get the memo though, despite 31 years on the force. He doesn’t mind using jackbooted tactics to enforce nonexistent laws. Know why? Because he knows he’ll get away with it.

What a Flimsy Camera!

LA-based artist Kiel Johnson works with sheets of cardboard, glue and fabric to create painstaking replicas of things we all know and love – like this classic SLR. He did a whole series of cameras in fact, from a Polaroid to a twin lens reflex, because this is a guy with a crazy attention to detail. If you’re in the market, Johnson sells the cameras and they’re on display at the Mark Moore Gallery in Los Angeles and Davidson Contemporary in New York.
To see more, watch this time lapse of Johnson at work, or go to Hyperbole Studios.
