    The new version includes improved media management and improved image quality built on “modern foundations,” with top-to-bottom color management and a new look. FCP X features resolution-independent playback all the way from SD up to 2K and 4K formats. It now leverages Grand Central Dispatch to take advantage of all cores on the Mac plus the GPU. The crowd goes wild, especially as Steinauer suggests that the ever-popular render bar will now be a thing of the past.

    Charlie Kirk describes himself as “a 37-year-old English guy, working as a lawyer in Tokyo.” Based in Japan’s capitol for 9 years, he was educated at Sussex, Cambridge and Nottingham, and notes wryly “It’s a long process to become a lawyer.” A talented and avidly committed photographer with a knack for capturing the surreal quality of everyday life with his Leica MP and M9, he hopes to turn his newfound photographic passion into something more than a fulfilling avocation. Here, in his understated and commendably straightforward words is the fascinating story of his photographic adventure.

  • Embedistan: Unembedded vs. Embedded

    Aside from the long list of tactical information we can’t report or photograph, the soldiers and commanding officers censor themselves. They are afraid of the repercussions of saying the wrong thing, and are on the lookout for journalists with an agenda.

    via At War Blog: http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/11/embedistan-unembedded-vs-embedded/

    I have spent six months in Afghanistan, 85 percent of it unembedded.

    For many journalists, embedding has become an integral part of reporting in Afghanistan. I know journalists who spend months at a time with the military. One of my colleagues calls it “Embedistan.”
