UNDERCITY Documentary w/ Steve Duncan

Taken from the Filmmaker Andrew Wonder's VIMEO Page - For updates and more adventures follow me on twitter twitter.com/​andrewwonder and check out my website andrewwonder.com

This is a film I made after some adventures underground with Steve Duncan (undercity.org) last summer. We also have a teaser video which you can watch on my vimeo page (vimeo.com/​5752275).

For more information about the video and our other adventures please contact Andrew Wonder (Director/Cinematographer) at andrewwonder@mac.com.

Steve and I just completed another underground expedition with Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge (en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Erling_Kagge). It was featured in a three page article on the front page of the NY Times metro section and was written by Alan Feuer (nytimes.com/​2011/​01/​02/​nyregion/​02underground.html). We were also covered by NPR's Jacki Lyden whose report will be aired on 1/2/11 and posted on NPR's site (npr.org/​2011/​01/​02/​132482428/​into-the-tunnels-exploring-the-underside-of-nyc).

Shot on a canon 5d mkii with canon 24 f/1.4 (version 1) with the zacuto rapid fire, Zoom H4N and a sennheiser g2 wireless lav. The zacuto was really great at being there when I needed it but also staying out of the way.

Shepard Fairey Arrested & Charged in Boston!!!




Shepard Fairey, 39, the artist who created the red, white, and blue 'Hope' portrait of President Barack Obama has plead guilty to graffiti in Boston. While in Boston to launch his first solo exhibit at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, Fairey defaced public property in a variety of locations.

The defacement was actually unauthorized placement of posters and stickers on public property; Shepard Fairey plead guilty to three charges that consisted of hanging a poster on an electrical box, and placing stickers on traffic signs. 11 other charges against Shepard Fairey were dismissed.

Shepard Fairey will pay $2,000 in graffiti clean up fines and must issue a public apology to the people of Boston. He also faces 2 years probation which will require him to notify police whenever he is in Boston.

Shepard Fairey, a Los Angeles artist whose "Hope" image of Obama hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, was arrested in February while traveling to Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art to kickoff his first solo exhibition.

Police accused the 39-year-old of damaging property with graffiti in several city locations.

Fairey pleaded guilty to one count of defacing property for placing a poster on an electrical box in 2000 and to two counts of destruction of property in 2009 for placing a sticker on a traffic sign and affixing a poster to a condominium.

Eleven charges were dismissed.
