Off-Ramp

Nick Stern photo taken with actual film and actual camera

About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

Last month, I interviewed freelance photographer Nick Stern about his stance on Hipstamatic and Instagram photos.

In a nutshell, he said they are fine for everything but hard news, which I agree with.

I took a Hipstamatic shot of Nick, which you can see above, but I also unearthed an old SLR (and almost as old black and white film) and made a couple photos of Nick during our interview in Hollywood. I finally got the negs developed and then scanned to disc, and they're in the slideshow above.

Enjoy!
