Posted on 28. Jun, 2010 by planetmitch in 5D2, Video
I met Andreas Schnell thru the woopra chat on this blog the other day, and he pointed me to several really cool movies - and this one called “Strange Fruit” just grabbed me and held on - especially since it is a Canon EOS 5D Mark II (reviews) video and has a behind the scenes (bts) video to go with it.

Nope, did not know what it was about, now I know: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Fruit
Thanks for pointing that out.
Now that I know more, it makes me appreciate the song and the rendition. It wasn’t a good time for America and it is sad to know that there is still racism around the world.
