A brief look at the Varkari pilgrimage to Pandarpur. This video shows a few minutes of pilgrims as they streamed into Pune on the evening of 5 June 2010 accompanying the palanquin, or Palki, of Saint Tukaram. We estimate that there were 10,000 pilgrims in this group, singing and dancing in the rain. They walk more than 100 miles to the holy pilgrimage town of Pandarpur at this time every year (and some walk a second time each year), in the rainy season when the agricultural work is light.

Pretty Amazing!

People continue to make awesome things with their iPhone 4’s. This time, director Martin Martin composed the first music video shot completely with an iPhone 4. The featured song is titled Cascades by an unsigned Vancouver, British Columbia artist named flakjakt.

In a fun weeklong experiment, my friend Marty and I collaborated on this video for an original song I wrote specifically for the iPhone 4 shoot. The overall goal was to produce a music video you can get down with - first and foremost - regardless of what camera we were shooting with. I think the end result turned out fantasmic! I hope you do too.
