May 1st, Denver Museum of Nature and Science What is it like to work on the crew of a MacGillivray
Freeman IMAX® movie and win the Giant Screen Cinema Award for Best
Cinematography? Michael Brown will be presenting a behind the scenes
slide & video show at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science just
after a screening of 'The Alps'
IMAX®. Most of the action in the story is on the dreaded north face of
the Eiger. Make sure to say hello; Michael will have a stack of IMAX
film frames that didn't make the show. They came from a roll that broke
in the extreme cold of shooting in the Swiss Alps in winter. Denver Museum

Greenland Michael Brown in Greenland with James Balog and the Extreme Ice Survey.
Michael describes, "It was a privilege to work with James (along with
his crew of Jeff Orlowski and Adam Le Winter) and see photography
through his eyes. There is also a sublime quality to ice bergs at 35
below. Unlike summer, when there is a thin sheen of liquid melt water,
the ice is frozen and it takes on a pearl like luster. Skiing out in
the now snow covered fjords and being able to reach out and touch, even
climb, the bergs was like being on another planet." Extreme Ice Survey

Contest and Prizes
This month we are giving away a DVD of our award winning film '3 Peaks 3 Weeks' to the person that guesses correctly (or near enough) the amount of foreign currency in the jar. We travel internationally alot and come home with crisp bank notes and various coins still in our pockets. In the jar there is currency from Tanzania, China, England, Switzerland, Thailand and New Zealand. Since the money is no good for spending here we thought we'd have a bit of fun with it. First, take a look at the pictures of the jar and make your best guess in American dollars. Hint: Its in the range of $2-$122 U.S dollars. Next, click on the link to enter your guess. Good luck!
