Attend the 10TH ANNUAL #GLADHOB Benefit
Deaf Women in Film House of Blues invokes in me memories of New Orleans where music reigns. It brought back memories of a best kept secret bar favored by locals. It is dimly lit, mysterious, and magical in its way as the riff of jazz floats in the air, and a woman croons so beautifully that it amazes me how much I was so moved by just her voice. An elderly man danced with me with such g...

Shooting is Power!
Deaf Women in Film (PHOTO) Kimby Caplan, a DWIF, is a cinematographer. Here's the thing. I decided to do a blog about cinematography, owning one's own camera, and so on.
