A while back there was a member on the forum in NYC that complained their movie career was not evolving as fast as they had hoped. I can't remember all the details, but my feelings on that would be...if you can afford to live in NYC, even just, you are a success! Recently photographer Elliott Erwitt's NYC Central Park's residence came up for sale after he passed away. I seldom study NYC real estate prices. I could never even afford the co-op's maintenance fees, let alone the sales price. So, I was kinda shocked it was so high and it sold so fast. It is a whole different world in NYC. Erwitt had a little studio downstairs as well. Between the 2 co-ops, the monthly maintenance fee was just under $20,000 a month. Here are some of Erwitt's photos... <><><><> Daniel D.

Made a reel out of all the concert footage I shot in 2023. The super 8 footage was shot on a Beaulieu 4008 ZMII and the 16mm was shot on a Bolex H16. https://youtu.be/WgHjehnVAkA?si=BnNhBzU_E0mt8ZBW

Howdy, y'all- I'm a 27 year-old DP in the New York/New Jersey area and as I've been looking for more and more work over the years I feel that I have been hitting a wall. I come from a G&E background so I've been more used to forming relationships with DPs, owner/ops, and production companies, but I find getting work as a DP to be a different ballgame, so I wanted to know what the pros and cons of hiring an agent are- do they actually find you work, is the cost of hiring someone offset by the increase in gigs, is it better to wait until you join local 600 to hire an agent versus having one in the non-union world, what are some better agencies for less known DPs, is it better to hire someone local or can they be on the other side of the country, etc. etc. Any advice would be appreciated because anything's gotta be better than blindly giving resumes to people who don't know you or scouring Mandy.com. Thanks in advance!

Here's my latest reel.. Moving to NY from LA next week. https://vimeo.com/96209450 35mm, 16mm, Alexa, Red, HD Thanks for checkin it out--

Hi everyone! I just moved to New York, and I'm working as a cinematographer at the moment (mainly assisting, but I had a few projects where I did the cinematography on my own). I wish to learn more about lighting with low budget. Because of the financial crisis, a lot of the projects lately have a very small budget, and I want to be able to learn better how to work with this. Can anyone recommend me a good workshop (or something like that) where I can learn this? Share your experiences with me! :D Thanks a lot!
