C. ^ of New Department. bert Warrenton was appointed to work in con- junction with the regular editorial staff to carry out the wishes of the A. S. C. member- ship in making the department a regular part of the American Cinematographer. This con- clusion was arrived at by the American Soc- iety of Cinematographers after long and ma- ture contemplation, by virtue of which the fact was driven home that, in order to have the perfect screen presentation, the closest possible relationship must exist between the projectionist and the cinematographer. Projection Is Decisive How to bring about this mutual bond of interest was long considered before the con- viction began to grow that the most logical way to produce the desired results was through the medium of the Society's publication it- self. A better understanding of reciprocal problems of projection and of cinematog- raphy is sure to attain the goal toward which both the cinematographer and the projection- ist are bending their efforts, and that, of course, is the perfect screen presentation. The Society believes that the establishment of this department wilj not only be of interest to the Earl J. Denison projectionist and to the cinematographer, but should prove of indirect benefit, if it cannot be seen to be direct, to every one concerned A projection department is to be made in the production of a motion picture, for the a regular part of the American Cinematog- reason that the efforts of all, in the final an- rapher. alysis, are ruled by the screen presentation This announcement, together with the at- in other words, how the public sees the tendant one that Earl J.

  • ASC History Timeline 1919-2019
    American Society of Cinematographers Historical Timeline DRAFT 8/31/2018 Compiled by David E. Williams February, 1913 — The Cinema Camera Club of New York and the Static Camera Club of America in Hollywood are organized. Each consists of cinematographers who shared ideas about advancing the art and craft of moviemaking. By 1916, the two organizations exchange membership reciprocity. They both disband in February of 1918, after five years of struggle. January 8, 1919 — The American Society of Cinematographers is chartered by the state of California. Founded by 15 members, it is dedicated to “advancing the art through artistry and technological progress … to help perpetuate what has become the most important medium the world has known.” Members of the ASC subsequently play a seminal role in virtually every technological advance that has affects the art of telling stories with moving images. June 20, 1920 — The first documented appearance of the “ASC” credential for a cinematographer in a theatrical film’s titles is the silent western Sand, produced by and starring William S. Hart and shot by Joe August, ASC. November 1, 1920 — The first issue of American Cinematographer magazine is published. Volume One, #1, consists of four pages and mostly reports news and assignments of ASC members. It is published twice monthly. 1922 — Guided by ASC members, Kodak introduced panchromatic film, which “sees” all of the colors of the rainbow, and recorded images’ subtly nuanced shades of gray, ranging from the darkest black to the purest white. The Headless Horseman is the first motion picture shot with the new negative. The cinematographer is Ned Van Buren, ASC.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

KALOtt In recent years the ecological and economic importance of North Carolina'sestuarine marshes has been recognized. Landowners' claims of private ownership of these marshes, however, challenge the public's right to use these rich coastal wetlandsfor commercial and recreational purposes. ProfessorsMonica Kalo and Joseph Kalo examine the North Carolina GeneralAssembly's attempt to resolve these claims through a series of statutes enacted in May 1985. First, the authors explore the history of protected public commercial and recreational uses of North Carolina's estuarine complex.

In typically acerbic fashion, he retrospectively judged his experiences in Los Angeles to be “unreal and inconclusive, almost as though they hadn't happened at all.” Coward described his festive jaunt through Hollywood’s social merry-go-round as like careering “through the side-shows of some gigantic pleasure park at breakneck speed” accompanied by “blue-ridged cardboard mountains, painted skies [and] elaborate grottoes peopled with several familiar figures.”1 3 Coward’s first visit persuaded him that California was not the place to settle and he for one only ever made fleeting visits to the movie colony, but the description he offered, and the delicious dismissal of Hollywood’s “fabricated” community, became common currency if one examines other British accounts of life on the west coast at this time.
