Update from the Road by SARA TANNER

Bill and Laura are in Calgary this weekend for a two-day multimedia workshop sponsored by The Camera Store. Before they left, Bill did an interview with our friends from the Manfrotto School of Xcellence.

This summer, Manfrotto ran a contest asking for thoughts and pictures for the "Imagine More" project and for help co-creating their first visual Manifesto about Imagination. They received more than 730 tweets and seven thousand photos. The images are now in Bill's hands as he works to combine the contributions to a short film which will be unveiled at the 68th Venice Film Festival. Check out the photo submissions online now.
