Michael Moore

Michigan filmmaker Michael Moore appeared at Angell Hall on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor tonight for the 20th anniversary screening of his first film "Roger & Me," a documentary on the demise of his native city of Flint. Moore passed up on an opportunity to nationally promote the DVD release of his latest film "Capitalism: A Love Story" on the Stephen Colbert show to instead appear in Ann Arbor before a mostly college student crowd of about 300. He spoke candidly of the many mistakes he made in making the film and candidly offered the sentiment that there's no hope for Flint.

Film Noir

Walking down Liberty Street after lunch on Tuesday, I came across this scene. Literally, it's going to be a scene in a short film being shot by these students from the University of Michigan. I took a few minutes to take shots of them shooting what appeared to be a dramatic encounter between two guys who looked like agents from "The Matrix." It was kind of one of those "hunter becomes the hunted" moments. I bet they didn't expect to run into some guy on the street heavily armed with a Nikon D700.
