ARTHOUSE FILM NEWS - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene at Facets, Chicago 11/29/23

Watch out, I have a still camera again (have been without one for more than a month now, but the iPhone I got yesterday comes with one, takes pretty decent pics for a camera phone) so, no doubt a lot of new photos from NYC & elsewhere will be showing up at this blog again. This photo was taken around 5 PM, I think this was one of the first things I did with the phone after getting it from the Apple store on Prince St (photo was taken at a restaurant a couple of blocks away from the Apple store).

While picking up an iPhone today (needed it for work :) thought for a few seconds about buying the 3GS model (shoots video) but skipped it since I have a video camera, but, these folks in the video below have 3Gs's & are using them to shoot a music video, pretty neat, check it out (also look around YouTube for the finished product, nice looking video):
