On March 25, 2009 Touro Law in Central Islip, Suffolk County, New York, will be sponsoring a forum on the Martin Tankleff case, and "wrongful convictions" in general. Speakers will include Marty Tankleff, Robert Gottlieb, Esq., Bruce Barket, Prof. Richard Moran of Mt. Holyoke College and Judge Barry Kamins, current chair of the NYS Bar Association's Task Force on Wrongful  Convictions. I was asked to speak at the forum by Prof. Peter Davis, but because of the conflict with our ceremony in Oklahoma honoring war hero Raymond Harvey, I will be unable to attend. What I did do, however, was to create a nine minute statement on DVD (video) which will be played at the conference, along with our much acclaimed documentary on the Tankleff case, "A Question of Guilt." A copy of the statement can be viewed on the "Works in Progress" page of this website. It calls for reform of the method of selecting judges in New York State. The video can also be seen on YouTube by searching "Stuart Namm." Copies of "A Question of Guilt" can be obtained by sending $23.95, which includes $4.00 for shipping, by check or money order, to Stuart Namm at 101 Marshview Road, Hampstead, NC 28443; or by credit card at www.paypal.com to RetJudgeS1@aol.com.

December 16, 2008

After three incredible weeks in East Africa, specifically Tanzania on the Indian Ocean, we returned home for a short spell, and drove to Port Everglades in Florida, where we boarded Holland America Line's newest cruise ship, The Eurodam, launched in 2008. It was a relaxing eight days in the beautiful Caribbean where we did some snorkeling on Grand Turk's main reefs, but mostly it was rest and recuperation, enjoying immensely the classical strains of Andante, a string quartet from Russia and the Ukraine, and the spectacular shows put on by the Eurodam's very talented singers and dancers, as well as the great comedians and musicians who performed on the huge stage.

Holland America Line's ms Eurodam

Adagio, a string quartet of Russian and Ukranian artists, is in performance every night from 6:00 PM in the very comfortable and expansive Explorer's Lounge! With an extensive library extending from J.S. Bach to Eastern European medleys incorporating tunes which were adapted to modern music like the much loved Anniversary Waltz, made famous in the 1950's by the legendary Al Jolsen in his twilight years. See and hear them perform some of that music by clicking on the link below.

The singers and dancers of the Eurodam cast in their spectacular closing number of their final performance of a great cruise! As is customary on all Holland America ships, you are not permitted to shoot video or use flash photography at any of their spectacular show. This picture was shot sans flash on my trusty Nikon D70. However, there is one show where there is no proscription against flash or video, and that's the traditional farewell of the fantastic cast and crew with whom we have lived for eight days, where they sing the beautiful Love in Any Language. Below is a link to the final appearance of the Eurodam's singers and dancers, and many of their phenomenal crew members from far away places like the Phillipines, Indonesia and Eastern Europe. Nancy and I will not soon forget our wonderful eight days on a great new ship!

For the past three to four years, while laboring day in and day out on the now published 3 1/2 hour project called: Men of Truth and Courage in a "forgotten war;" the 17th Infantry Regiment in Korea, I have continued to work on other uncompleted projects. The two that come to mind immediately are: Olive "Oggie Green," the Poet Laureate of Harlem, and Karen Romer, the "Rebitzin" who Pumps Iron, glimpses of which can be viewed on this page.

I had been struggling with each one of these projects as to how to present each of them to a discerning and sometimes critical public in a meaningful way. Although each of  these ladies is unique in her own special way, there did not seem to be a way to capture the interest of the viewing public. It was only when I began to edit a project about 79 year old Larue Todd (coincidentally, the same age as Oggie) of rural North Carolina, a unique craftswoman that I had realized, unbeknownst to me, that my camera lens had captured the stories of three extraordinary women. Different as they were in every way, ther unique individuality and extraordinary dedication to their craft brought them together as a group to be universally admired. Thus, the birth of Three Extrordinary Women!

It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce the death earlier this month of a wonderful woman, whom we had the rare opportunity to know and admire. Oggie Green, known to many as "Bahama Momma," or on 125th Street, simply as "Momma" to her many friends and admirers, passed away at a Manhattan hospital. Unfortunately, because of our travels, and other projects which seemed to always rise up, we never did finish the documentary, of which she would have been an important part, about some very special women that we have met and admired in recent years. Our deepest condolences go out to her dear husband, and her children who have survived her. It was our good fortune to have known and admired this sweet and energetic woman, who had faced so many hardships in her lifetime, but who always had the time to tell a story, write a poem, and fight for what she knew was right!

We were asked to document on tape a visual history of Wilmington, North Carolina's 23rd annual Festival of Trees, which took place between November 26 and December 4, 2005 at the Hilton Riverside located on Wilmington's historic Cape Fear River waterfront for the benefit of Lower Cape Fear Hospice and Life Care Center which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2005. Shooting was bgun in high definition format at Hospice's 25th anniversary celebration, attended by hundreds of supporters and volunteers, and continued until the last fay of the Festival.

 

Just a handful of the numerous beautifully decorated trees, some of which are memorials to the countless victims of Cancer who have been comforted and cared for in their final days by the many compassionate volunteers and professionals of Lower Cape Fear Hospice and Life Care Center in its twenty five years of service to the Cape Fear community. In 2004, the Festival of Trees raised $131,000 for Lower Cape Fear Hospice and Life Care Center.

One of the true beauties of the Festival is the total involvement of the Cape Fear community. There is virtually non-stop entertainment from early morning into the evening, both amateur and professional, young and old alike, from both public and private schools. Although the Festival takes place in New Hanover County, there is entertainment and volunteer participation from Brunswick, Pender and Columbus counties as well. This is the chorus of Edgewood Elementary School in Whiteville, North Carolina, and the Lamplighters, a Senior citizen group from Burgaw, North Carolina, two of the many who performed throught the eight days of the Festival.

Snorkeling the Galapagos

aboard the mv Lammer Law

In January 2006, we spent eight exciting days on a 98 foot trimaran, the mv Lammer Law, with ten others passengers and a crew of seven exploring the waters and islands of the Galapagos archipelago, some 600 miles west of the Pacific coast of Ecuador, and straddling the Equator. It was Clarles Darwin's journey to the Galapagos which inspired his "Origin of Species," and the Theory of Evolution, which underlies the scientific basis for the development of life on earth. Because of its location, its relative isolation and young geologic volcanic life, which is still evolving, there are creatures there which appear nowhere else on this planet. One of the unique, and arguably the strangest, creatures on the Galapagos is the Marine Iguana. They can be found on many rocky shorelines overlooking the archipelago, usually lying placidly in the sun until their body temperatures rise sufficiently so that they can enter the cold waters of the ocean to feed on the algae in the sea. I was fortunate enough to capture one of them feeding underwater on the last day of snorkeling, after many hours spent in the waters of the archipelago.

http://www.legaleagleproductions.com/movies/GalapagosMarineIguanawebsiteclip.wmv

Our gateway to the Galapagos was the beautiful city of Quito, the capital of Equador, situated in the heart of the Andes Mountains and surrounded by active volcanoes, at an elevation of 8500' above sea level. Ecuador is a very small country, but mile for mile it is the most ecologically and biodiverse country in the world. The country is amazingly beautiful, and its people are both beautiful and very friendly. However, like so many other Latin American countries that we have visited in the past, there always seems to be some political or economic unrest. We found it to be a country of contrasts, and I tried to capture some of the contrasts in this short video clip-contrasts between its beautiful culture and music and the seeming turmoil created by social problems which cry out for solutions; and the contrast between thousands of high school students taking to the streets to demand their rights and the beautiful and bright group of high school students whom we met, and will never forget, at an elevation of over 14,000' on a mountain overlooking their magnificent city in which they take such great pride.

We spent five nights-three before the Galapagos, and two after-at the architecturally beautiful Hotel Patio Andaluz (www.HotelPatioAndaluz.com) in the Old Town, just 1 1/2 blocks from the Presidential Palace and Independence Square which is surrounded by Cathedrals, Museums and beautiful buildings, and which was always teaming with police, the military, swarms of locals and tourists. As luck would have it, during our first days at the hotel , there were two separate demonstrations taking place-one by thousands of students protesting an increase in bus fares, and a second demanding the release of a purported political prisoner. Stepping out of our hotel, on the first morning after our arrival, we ran into one of these demonstrations and the police attempt to quell it! Innocently, we too received a dose of the police gas spray, although we were two blocks from the source. Despite the turmoil, and despite having our diminutive taxi surrounded by hundreds of students armed with large rocks, we fell in love with Ecuador and its people; especially the beautiful group of high school students that we met after taking the Teleferiqo (aerial tramway) to the top of a 14,000 mountain overlooking Quito. They were doing a school project on video, interviewing tourists, and after beind interviewed, we turned the table on them and captured some precious moments on tape. (Note:The music behind their voices is not the video soundtrack, but Ecuadoran folk music which was being played by a group called "andismante Kjary"- a father and his two sons-near the visitor center at the top of the 14,000' mountain.)

The giant Galapagos Tortoise or tortuga (sp.) is believed to be the oldest living creature on Earth. Some living today may even have been living when Charles Darwin explored the islands. Originally consisting of fifteen sub-species, four have become extinct, leaving only eleven sub-species extant in the world today, one of which may consist of only one survivor, "Lonesome George," who is living out his lonely existence, while the search continues for a female of the species, at the Charles Darwin Research Station on the island of Santa Cruz. Apparently, the physical separation of the islands of the Galapagos archipelago, and separation on the same island, such as Isabela, by physical features like giant lava flows, have caused separate and distinct sub-species to evolve. The only tortoises which we encountered on our eight day tour of the islands of the Galapagos were in captivity at the research center and in the wild grassy highlands of the island of Santa Cruz, not far from the five hectare estate of our very knowledgeable and personable tour guide, Robert Grimstone, which he now calls home with his Ecuadoran wife, far from his native England. At first glance, one could discern, with a high degree of certainty, that film maker Steven Spielberg probably modeled the face of his now very familiar extraterrestrial  E.T. on the very interesting facial features of the giant Galapagos Tortoise. You can judge that for yourself!

We spent eight days aboard a 98' trimaran, the mv Lammer Law, reputed to be the second largest vessel in its class in the world. Although it has a capacity of 16 passengers in its eight air conditioned cabins, we were only 12, with a crew of 7, including Robert our naturalist guide from the UK, and William, our dive guide, a native of the island of Santa Cruz. Despite being very diverse, we turned out to be a very compatible group that was like family by the time we disembarked to return to Quito. Aside from Nancy and myself, there was one couple from the UK, the husband a corporate executive in a world reknowned accounting firm; another couple from Virginia, the wife an engineer, and the husband formerly on staff in the Department of Defense during Lyndon Johnson's administration; a third and younger couple from Colorado, who were adventurous mountain climbers, having recently ascended Mount Kilamanjaro in Africa; a father and daughter from Maryland, she a student at Harvard University, fresh off her final exams, and he a prominent corporate attorney in private practice; and finally two friends from Texas, on vacation without their wives, one a well known sports talk radio host, and the other a prominent financial advisor and consultant. The only divers on board were the attorney and his daughter, although I did occasionally join the divers to capture some great underwater video which I might not have gotten had I snorkeled exclusively with the snorkel group, which included all of the rest of us, except one who had a serious leg injury.

Although we had all arrived separately into Quito, we all flew on the same Icaro chartered flight from Quito to the island of San Cristobal, with a stopover in the most populous Ecuadoran city, Guyaqil, near the Pacific coast. The Galapagos are some 600 miles west of the Ecuadoran coast in the Pacific Ocean, dead smack on 0 degrees latitude, the Equator.

The first thing that struck us during a couple of hours of relaxation in San Cristobal before boarding our panga (rubber dinghy), operated by 2nd Mate Nixon, to the Lammer Law was the commingling of locals and Sea Lions all sunning themselves on a nearby beach. The animals seemed to have no fear of humans whatsoever. They were everywhere, and one had to be careful not to step on one of the pups who freely roamed the public beach and frolicked in the refreshingly cool ocean waters adjacent to it. I was able to walk right up to the harem of females and their pups with my video camera until threatened by the huge 'beachmaster," with his loud unmistakable bark letting me know, and anyone else in the vicinity, in no uncertain terms, that this was his domain and his harem. Wherever one saw a group of females with their pups, you could be certain that the beachmaster was within barking distance.

Although the Sea Lions were a novelty and exciting upon our arrival on the archipelago, by the time we left eight days later, we had seen so many Sea Lions and its more rare cousin, the Fur Seal, and walked through so many harems, that they no longer engendered much excitement in our group. Nevertheless, they were always a sight to behold, and could always be counted upon to put a smile on one's face-especially when a beautiful pup got close enough to sniff at your feet.

http://www.legaleagleproductions.com/movies/GalapagosSeaLionswebsiteclip.wmv

For an understanding and excellent explanation as to why the Galapagos archipelago, which is located on the Equator, is not as hot as one might imagine, and why there is such a diversity of animal life, like the Sea Lion (from the temperate zone) and the Fur Seal (from Antarctica), and diversity of sea life (both tropical reef fish and cold water pelagic fish) see the following link:

http://www.galapagosonline.com/nathistory/Oceanography/Currents.html

Apparently, it's all about the confluence of five different ocean currents in one location, the Galapagos archipelago!

War and Peace

In March 2005, soon after I had just acquired my first High Definition video camers, the SONY HVR-Z1U, we decided that the best place to test out the many professional features of the camera would be a public peace rally scheduled at a public park in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the home of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg. We felt that it would be an interesting contrast between the military, heavily engaged in Iraq for two years, and those opposed to the Iraq war. We spent a very interesting afternoon in Fayetteville, but as it turned out, there was no military presence to be seen. I shot over an hour of high definition tape, with the purpose being to check out my new high definition editing program. There was never any intention of using the footage to create a video documentary, although the many speakers and the general atmosphere certainly lent itself to a short feature. Thus, the footage was shelved until I recently read an interview of actor-chanteuse, Bette Midler, the Divine Miss M, in the latest issue of Interview magazine. Speaking of the war in Iraq, she could not understand why, unlike the Vietnam war, there had been no public demonstrations and rallies against the war. The seed had been planted! I pulled my footage off the shelf and created the short piece we call simply, with a tip of the hat to Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace.

Note: In doing this piece, although we have very strong personal feelings about the Iraq war, we take no position in this piece, either for or against the war, as this is intended only to be a short visual video montage of one anti-war rally by persons with very strong feelings against the war, who clearly demonstrated that one can be against the war, while fully supporting the troops engaged in this war.

The Rebbetzin Pumps Iron!

Rebbetzin is the Yiddish word for "the Rabbi's Wife."

Meet Rabbi Ben and Karen Romer formerly of Wilmington, North Carolina, and now in Richmond, Virginia

http://www.legaleagleproductions.com/images/KarenRomer05southernisles_036big.jpg 

Karen Romer is probably one of thousands of Rabbi's wives in the United States, be they Orthodox, Conservative or Reformed. She is the wife of Rabbi Ben Romer, the current spiritual leader of Temple of Israel of Wilmington, North Carolina, the oldest Jewish congregation in the State of North Carolina. Being the Rabbi's wife is not what makes this woman unique; what makes her unique is that this 53 year old Rabbi's wife is a personal fitness trainer, and for the last sixteen years, she has competed in numerous "natural bodybuilding" competitions in Germany, when the Rabbi was an Army chaplain, and back home in the United States.

In this video clip, from a short documentary film entitled: "The Rebbitzin Pumps Iron (c)," you will hear and see the Rebbetzin doing her thing in the Masters class at a natural bodybuilding competition in Spartanburg, South Carolina on June 17, 2006 at the University of South Carolina Upstate.

http://www.legaleagleproductions.com/movies/TheRebetzinwebsiteclip.wmv 

June 26, 2006 Note:   After three years in Wilmington, North Carolina, where Rabbi Ben Romer has successfully served as the spiritual leader of Temple of Israel, regrettably, Karen and Rabbi Ben will be leaving Wilmington to a new home in Richmond, Virginia, where Rabbi Ben will take on the duties of spiritual leader of another Reform synagogue. They will be sorely missed by the many in the congregation who were inspired weekly by the Rabbi's intellect through his always thoughtful and inspiring sermons, by those who were comforted in their moments of illness or dispair, by the young people who studied under him, and by those who were treated weekly to the lovely harmony of their voices in prayer-Karen's from within the congregational sanctuary, and Rabbi Ben's from his pulpit. As a dedication to these very special folks, and as a remembrance for those who will sorely miss their presence in Wilmington, we have added two video clips shot at Temple of Israel, one week before the Rabbi's last service in Wilmington on June 30, 2006. One is of Karen chanting the blessing over the Shabbat candles, and the second is of Rabbi Ben chanting a prayer which is a staple of the Friday night Sabbath service.

http://www.legaleagleproductions.com/movies/KarenRomerShabbatBlessing.wmv

Rabbi Ben and Karen: Please know that you will be sorely missed by the many who have come to know you and love you as we do, but that you will always be in our hearts, prayers and thoughts, and never be forgotten. We're sure that many of the Temple of Israel congregation will be making pilgrimages to your new home in Richmond to renew old friendships and to be refreshed by the power of Rabbi Ben's intellect and Karen's sweet voice. .SHALOM.............................                   Stuart and Nancy Namm and all of your many friends and admirers at Temple of Israel.

East Africa 2006:

Kenya and Tanzania

From Amboseli to the Serengeti

In October 2006, we flew from Raleigh-Durham to Nairobi, Kenya, with a one day stop-over in London, for an incredible  two week photography-videography safari in several different wildlife parks in Kenya and Tanzania. We visited five different wildlife preserves from Amboseli to the Serengeti with three different, very knowledgeable guides, in three different open top Toyota Land Cruisers. For most of the trip, it was just Nancy and I and our guide, so that we were ablt amass over 1200 wildlife photos and 6 1/2 hours of high definition video. We stayed in luxurious tented safari camps, as well as two luxury lodges, one of which was situated on the rim of World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro Crater. We saw almost all that one could ever hope to see, but we returned eager to plan another visit to that wonderous continent. At this point, with our 17th Infantry documentary project in full swing, it will be some time before I am able to edit the video into a final project, but we will endeavor to place video clips of the wildlife and our exciting interior air flights on this website from time to time, not to mention interesting nature photos.

We were very fortunate to discover a magnificent Leopard feeding on a kill, probably from the night before, in a huge Acacia tree at Samburu. Although it was well cmaouflaged in the morning, when we returned in the late afternoon, we got an incredible show from a very nonchalant animal.

Since Spring of 2009, after acquiring a SONY PMW-EX3 full 1920x1080 high definition camera, we began to work on one of our most ambitious projects, "The Waterfalls of the Southern Appalachians." Although I have had a small vacation home in the mountains since 1989, Nancy and I have been exploring places that I had never seen, or even known about. We began in the Spring, because in January 2009, Nancy had both knees replaced, and by Spring, her legs were strong enough to climb up hills and hike long dirt trails. Last month, we were in the mountains again shooting one of the most spectacular falls surrounded by deep snow, large icicles and ice. Shortly, I will begin to add some photos and video clips to the website.

Happy Holidays to all! Just returned from 26 day cruise to the Amazon River on ms Prinsendam. Either we spent too much time on the river-six days-or global warming is a fact of life. Saw only one blue hummingbird, and no animals, unless they were attached to a string to encourage monetary gifts. It was a great disappointment, especially viewing a huge, brown colored river. More to come!
