Here’s Abroad, a short movie by filmmaker John Lynch. It’s in fact a Pentax K-5 commercial. Yet the camera’s hardly mentioned. You never even see the camera. It’s a Pentax anti-commercial. If only more ad campaigns were like this… Great editing, fantastic story, yet a bit outdated first K-5 incarnation. Right, in a way it’s […]
If you got some spare time: interesting piece by Trevor Paglen on the excellent photography blog Still Searching.
