I received a publicity release late Friday afternoon from the national office of ASMP announcing a new start-up, Image Warehouse, operated by ASMP member, Carroll Seghers.

Louisa Curtis, aka Chatterbox, just redid her website (which looks great, by the way!) including the recent addition of the ChatterBlog.

Human Archives Organization …sort of a “who’s who”…of everybody (…at least anyone who has an “archivist” or wants to do it them self…).

The 2007 Photo Plus Expo was this week in New York City.

I had seen this around on the web for a while, just getting around to posting about it:

This interesting newspaper editorial article came my way via my email inbox via The Hartford Courant and Google Alerts wherein the Courant calls on the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism to clarify its placing Film Commissioner Heidi Hamilton effective August 21st.

I was interviewed last week by New York, NY CBS affiliate WCBS-TV, for a video news article entitled Hollywood Being Priced Out of 1 Upscale Rockland County Town that ran on the Thursday, April 12th 11pm Newscast and in extended form the following morning on the Morning News regarding a situation in Orangetown Township, NY whereby the town has initiated a $500 per hour fine for film crews present before 7a.m. or after sunset.

This past week I was contacted by a mid-Westchester County, NY property owner about the prospect of using their 200 year-old farmhouse home as a shoot location for film, photo or video projects.

As evidenced by the rest of the content here on my website and very likely because you were looking for someone like me, you probably already know I am a location scout and location manager and maintain a location library of shoot-ready locations for use by film, video and photo production.

In addition to being a beautiful home, this particular house has the distinction of recently being the “hero house”, or one of the main filming locations in the soon-to-be-released Miramax Film Corporation feature film, The Hoax, directed by Lasse Hallström, starring Richard Gere and Alfred Molina (complete IMDB webpage here) which attempts to tell the story of the Clifford Irving / Howard Hughes autobiography scandal of the 1970’s.

The owner relates to me that filming for the movie last year at their home went on pretty much full time for a period of about two months and that, overall, they enjoyed the experience and wish to host more shoots at their home in the future.

The home is located within a 30 mile radius of Columbus Circle, New York City, so it may be considered “within the zone” for many film and video shoots.

The Creative Planet websites are the online version of all those niche trade magazines you always can never resist subscribing to (free for qualified subscribers!) and often wonder what you were thinking as six months of “Widgets Monthly” piles up unread; the upside of the online versions (if you can stay your trembling hand from subscribing by email) is you can stay up to speed on your own time on the latest technologies (yup, lot-o industrial/gear/tech press releases) online -and no trees died for your sins:
