The photos below were made from a private space in the Starrett – Lehigh Building at 601 West 26th Street in the neighborhood known as West Chelsea in Manhattan, New York City, NY looking uptown and (in the panorama below) displaying, from the left (west) the Hudson River and New Jersey cross-town to right (east), the Empire State Building on the edge of the frame.

ALL location scouts LOVE the Manhattan skyline!

If you are a foreign film / photo production planning to work on location in the United States and / or more specifically, in the New York City area, you may or may not be aware that use of just about any private property, as well as many public venues and towns / municipalities (New York City included, for film / video) as a location will require you to provide proof of commercial liability insurance providing coverage of at least $2m US in the form of a certificate of insurance and naming same (property owner / venue / town or municipality) third-party additionally insured. These or similar conditions apply to many gear / equipment rental agreements as well.

Furthermore, any insurance you may have in your home country must provide coverage abroad and that coverage must be recognized and accepted by all parties involved in the United States.

Fear not, there are many insurance brokers nationwide in the U.S. that offer affordable short-term production insurance packages. The insurance company I usually work with was charging about $650 for a 14 day package last time I spoke with them.

Times Square in New York City is one of Manhattan’s most iconic locations. Out-of-towners, depending on the circumstances of their visit to Manhattan, may not see much else, but they are likely to see at least part of Times Square!

I just made a static page with an embedded news map of excerpts of location scouting and location management-related news stories from around the world, aggregated from Google News, Yahoo News and MSN News.

This page updates regularly with excerpts of news related to location scouting and location management for production for film / photo / video / television.

I am always curious who the other people out there in cyberspace are that are somehow associated with location scouting and location management for film / tv and photo, so I felt lucky to discover that Twitter has its own search engine now, search.twitter.

It is summer and I have been receiving a number of requests lately for beach and waterfront houses, so I have pulled a number of beach house locations from my location files an added them to a beach houses album on Locamundo:
