film is not dead 4.0
22 June 2009
Every few months I get the opportunity to work with Jon Canlas and I’ve just begun to work on his upcoming website refresh for his 4th version of “Film is Not Dead” which he’s hosting this time in Park City, Utah. He’s officially announcing it today, but if you’d like a coveted seat at his workshop, act fast! Word on the street is that there is (already) very few seats remaining.
So Jon’s a good friend and, at times, I must confess that due to overexposure, perhaps, I get somewhat numbed to the greatness of his work. That’s why I appreciate these projects so much—it gives me yet another chance to dive into his work with refreshed eyes. Last night I spent probably almost an hour looking at a selection of his most recent work and was reminded how incredibly talented he is. And it made me think: if one is going to go through the trouble of meticulously planning the most perfect and gorgeous wedding (not everyone’s into that, but for those who are…), that they would just be insane not to hire someone of Jon’s caliber to document and tell the story of that perfect day. When we were working on his new brand last year, we really got into why he does what he does and the magic of photography in preserving those really important memories. Wedding days are crazy and—after months of planning—fly by once The Day arrives… it’s priceless to be able to go back and relive that day a bit more patiently and indulge in the details and the moments that were all a blur at the time.
Anyways, I’ve probably babbled enough. I’m going to post some of my new favorites pieces of his before and after the jump. Enjoy.
