    Is Tom Cruise finished?

    Well lets see. Jack Reacher made $216 million. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol made $694 million. Oblivion has made $244 million. So his last 3 films have made over a billion dollars. He is just about to start a new franchise with a Man from U.N.C.L.E. film. Cruise is FAR from...

    Retro Future

    I'll look for Major Mars. Is this the project with Bob Burns? I'm not shooting anamorphic, but I am shooting in the scope ratio. I'm trying to get that 1956, early CinemaScope look to the show. I have seen several of the Rocky Jones episodes that were edited into feature films. Yep Vena was...

    people watching at the 1939 Worlds Fair in color!

    I'm not sure that hats on men were quite as ubiquitous as the movies of the day would have us believe. Much like cigarettes, hats were there to be use as a prop, and a style choice, as much as to reflect reality. Doug

    George Hurrell 40s style photography

    Thank you! Thats actually a lamp behind her. I noticed that too. I was hoping that my depth of field was shallow enough that the lamp shade would be out of focus more than it was. That shoot was actually my first serious attempt to emulate the 40's style of George Hurrell. Doug

    George Hurrell 40s style photography

    OH yes this is quite true. Even up to the transition to digital, 35mm was not being used for magazine shoots. Medium format was the smallest image most magazines would accept for submissions even as recently as 8 years ago. Doug

    George Hurrell 40s style photography

    This is quite true with the one Caveat that a lot of street photography was being done in 35mm in the mid to late 1950's, and was being published in magazines such as Life and Look. Its very true that a huge part of Hurrell's art was re-touching. For many of his photos, he had his subjects...

    MacAlpine's in Phoenix, Az opened in 1927 as a pharmacy and soda fountain. The pharmacy is gone, but the soda fountain still operates. Doug

    How did the average couple dress for weddings?

    My parents were married in 1951. My father a wore navy blue wool double breasted suit with a red silk tie with feathers printed on it. (I still own the suit and tie) My mom wore a cream white wedding dress that my grandmother and she made together. Doug

    Do you have a favorite vintage movie car?

    I love this car, plus the flip down pistol rack is cool! Then there is the only REAL Batmoble. And of course the coolest car ever built.

    Do you have a favorite vintage movie car?

    Interestingly the truck in Raiders was a GMC converted to look like a Mercedes. Doug
