London 1927

A few years ago I posted some old colour videos of Mexico City in the 1940s and 1950s. They were fascinating glimpses into the past of the city, and the colour reproduction just made them so much more...je ne sais pas quoi. But you probably know what I mean. I haven't ever posted any videos … Continue reading London 1927 →

Fuji X-S1 Video Sample

The next piece of my Fuji X-S1 review is to show what sort of video the camera can shoot. It's nice and easy to shoot video - as with most cameras these days there is a dedicated video button on the back of the device to get recording straight away.

Capital In Movement

The sort of video I've been searching for for ages. I've seen lots of videos from my own country from the early 40's, but few of … Continue reading Mexican Vintage Video →

Less than a week to go. Next Friday I will be settled in my seat nice and early in a cantina somewhere near the centre of the city, ready to watch the opening ceremony and then the first game of the tournament - Mexico versus South Africa. A key game for both teams. If one … Continue reading The Cantina →

New York Destroyed

I love a cool piece of digital video, and it gets no cooler than this. Although I normally reserve my blog for my own work, this is the exception to prove the rule. Like New York? Like Space Invaders? Pacman? Tetris? You'll love this video.
