Museum of the Moving Image

I had a great time...sorta.
I took my daughter with me. It was very interesting. I didnt learn much because I guess i rushed the trip. I had the take the CPE later that day. Since i was all the way in Queens....WITH A BABY! I was a little stressed. LOL!

I really don't like history and looking at outdated technology. But my daughter seemed a little fascinated. I would go back again some day and review some of the floors and exhibits that I missed.

I was amazed at the sizes of the machines. But this is typical of most things. Most emerging technologies initially begin  as huge objects and are then eventually evolved into something small. This evolution of cameras and portability has unleashed the creative side of man. Everyone has been given the privilege to become a media maker. No longer are we constrained to film studios, where this was the only place these cameras could be used. Now we get video of any and everything. From the insides of volcanoes to the bottom of oceans. The shrinking of the sizes of the cameras has really changed the world as we know it.
