  • Close Encounters: Will Burrard-Lucas’ wildlife photography

    Based in the UK, nature photographer Will Burrard-Lucas is highly dedicated to wildlife photography. He’s even developed his own remote-controlled camera system for getting as close as you can with dangerous animals like rhinos, lions and… meerkats. The photographer spent an entire year living in Zambia where he used new technologies like drones, camera traps and remote-control devices to capture nature from tricky perspectives. See gallery

  • Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters is Now Available on DVD, and Netflix Streaming

    Netflix have acquired the rights to stream Ben Shapiro’s excellent 77-minute documentary, Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters. You can also buy it outright on DVD for $ 24.

    Sadly, the Netflix access this is US-only (maybe Canada? nope!) and only for Netflix streaming subscribers. But this is still far and away the biggest audience to have had access to the film.

    There’s no telling how long it will be up to stream. Netflix is notorious for having, then not having, the rights to a movie. So just in case, don’t wait too long. You can stream it here.

    (Many thanks to reader Tim Kamppinen for the heads-up!)

    For those of you not familiar with photographer Gregory Crewdson's work, he meticulously creates his photographs on an epic scale. For instance, that photo above is completely staged—and lit. As in, they lit the whole freakin' street scene.

    Below, the film's trailer, an extended clip, and how to catch this worthwhile documentary in its cross-country, limited-release tour. Read more »
