Beloved High-Speed Film Camera Faces Extinction For more than five decades, the Charles A. Hulcher Co. filled an important niche in the camera world. Their cameras, which shot up to 100 frames per second, were used to make photos of everything from Space Shuttle launches to Major League Baseball games. But as digital cameras came to dominate, Hulcher saw business decline steeply, and today the company is down to just four employees. “Digital has pretty much killed film cameras,” says Richard Hill, 75, who has been at the Hulcher company since the 1950s. The original model, the Hulcher 70, was built in the early 1950s by Charles Hulcher and could shoot up to 50 frames per second on 70mm film. And of those high-frame-rate cameras, Hulcher filled a special role. Gary Beasley, 67, another one of the remaining employees, says Hulcher originally invented the Hulcher 70 while working as an employee for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA’s predecessor. Hill says the military was always one of the company’s biggest clients.
Baden Powell Tous les chemins de la délicatesse faite musique ramèneraient au même lieu, au même dieu : Baden Powell. Comme un séquoia de la musique, comme une braise du monde, il s'avançait, déjà crépusculaire, au milieu de la scène et ses doigts ténébreux, faisaient briller des nouvelles lueurs d'étoiles II était déjà hors du temps. Hors des courants brésiliens, plus tendre encore que Chico Buarque, il déployait sur sa guitare les ailes brûlantes et légèrement froissées de la vie qui va, en restant la mémoire des musiques populaires. Il ne regardait presque jamais le public et pourtant sa musique n'était que regards échangés, miel distribué à tous. À ce concert salle Nougaro, il y a une dizaine d'années, où déjà crépusculaire presque sans un mot tu vins t'asseoir, timidement replié sur ta chaise, caché derrière tes lunettes de hibou, nous avions pourtant le sentiment d'entendre tous les coquillages à la fois, ceux de ta "mer-musique", qui respire les choses humbles et simples.

'The camera cannot lie' - meaning and origin of this phrase Meaning Literal meaning. Origin Printed photographs began to be available to the general public around the mid 19th century. When this phrase was coined, which appears to be just a few years later, the view that a photograph was a faithful representation of a scene, in a way that a subjective painting could never be, was a reasonable one. Many of the earliest references to the phrase describe people's inability to believe that they look like their photographic portraits. The earliest citation of the precise 'camera cannot lie' phrase I have found is from The Evening News, Lincoln, Nebraska, November 1895, complete with an intimation of the early doubts about the literal truth of the phrase: "Photographers, especially amateur photographers, will tell you that the camera cannot lie. A slightly modified version of the phrase occurs just a few months earlier, in the Ohio newspaper The Sandusky Register, February 1895: He looked up from the proof at me and said: 'Good Lord!

Mario Giacomelli « Le temps est sans cesse en mouvement, dans mon appareil, dans les champs, dans la rue ; le temps m’effraie, c’est le sujet de mes photos ». Avec sa volontaire ignorance de l’art photographique et de ses tendances, avec son vieil appareil photo de bas de gamme Kobell, tout rafistolé et tenant par des rubans adhésifs, en bandoulière, son innocence de poète et son monde intérieur onirique et en fusion, Mario Giacomelli aura métamorphosé le réel pour aller bien au-delà de celui-ci. Alors que ses sujets sont souvent néo-réalistes - hospice, Lourdes, séminaristes, abattoirs, villages, paysans, champs couverts des graffitis des sillons ...-, et s’accrochent au tragique du vivre - la vieillesse et la mort, le temps qui passe -, lui en aura fait des icônes de l’imaginaire. Pour lui la photographie n’est qu’un moyen d’écriture, comme la peinture, car il était aussi peintre, ou la poésie, car il était aussi poète. « Je ne connais pas les appareils des autres. haut de la page Gil Pressnitzer
