Notes from September 2007

Aaton XTR and resuming Open Road

Still getting comfortable with handling my XTR. I do have to say the camera is a dream compared to the others I've owned and operated (CP-16/A, various RX Bolex cameras, Bell & Howell Filmo, and several NPR cameras with and without the Alcan and orientable Angenieux eyepiece), and I'd say even better than the SR1 and II. I have resumed work on Open Road, a project which thankfully has locations solely in and around Portland. Several night shots await, and another car shot on the upper deck of the Fremont. I imagine this portrait of automotive movement and road infa-structure will have some degree of tedium for the viewers, so I will play with the assembly a fair amount to alleviate viewer fatigue (though some amount of fatigue may be necessary).
