La surconsommation désigne un niveau de consommation situé au-dessus de celui des besoins normaux ou d’une consommation moyenne.

A Tour of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica

Posted on 2013/03/02 by Jeffrey Donenfeld

After living and working at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the summer 2012-2013 season, I’ve had the chance to see most parts of the station. Additionally, I also worked as a tour guide for the various tourist groups who visited the station. Here’s a brief narrated video tour of both the elevated station as well as the buried service structures. Shot on the Sony RX100.

Go To The Moon With The Apollo Astronauts in Documentary “For All Mankind”

Posted on 2012/09/13 by Jeffrey Donenfeld

A simply stunning documentary covering the Apollo missions to the Moon. Stunning on all fronts. Scored by Brian Eno. Enough said.

This movie documents the Apollo missions perhaps the most definitively of any movie under two hours. Al Reinert watched all the footage shot during the missions–over 6,000,000 feet of it, and picked out the best. Instead of being a newsy, fact-filled documentary. Reinart focuses on the human aspects of the space flights. The only voices heard in the film are the voices of the astronauts and mission control. Reinart uses the astronaunts’ own words from interviews and from the mission footage. The score by Brian Eno underscores the strangeness, wonder, and and beauty of the astronauts’ experiences–experiences which they were privileged to have for a first time “for all mankind.”-Scott B. Fisher
