Cameras to can more Shots

He is   getting camera friendly. We aren’t talking about taking snap shots but the man behind the lens. He has   managed to have the largest movie camera collection .The man in the news is Richard LaRiverie  founder of Museum of Motion Pictures and Television  has about 900 movie cameras  giving his collection  new high.

The former New England developer and businessman, who now lives in Land O'Lakes, is making plans for a  museum  large enough to house 35,000 movie artifacts, including a collection of more than 900 movie cameras. So if you are having a craze for cameras we bet that you should visit this museum to take a look at his extensive camera exhibition. He had organized an 18 hour video marathon   with projectors   showing short films by area film groups and other sources. The event focuses on his   mammoth camera   count and also props on display   films such as ‘Cleopatra’ and ‘Tarzan’. The money raised through the programme   would be used a s fund raiser or the Museum of Motion Pictures and Television. An added attraction will be the opening of the latest revival of one of St. Pete’s most famous watering holes for the area’s artist fringe.    Film and camera fans are invited to view the array of movie cameras that have been used by everyone from NASA engineers and Hollywood filmmakers to Mom and Po.

But after so much of hard work his obsessed   collection   has not   yet got a sheltered proof. His nonprofit organization is still homeless and LaRiverie has been tirelessly   talking to city officials all over Tampa Bay   to get enough space for his display. He believes collecting the wide variety of generation old camera was a real fun  and continues to do research on the subject which he believes would be a good learning experience.

The largest collection of movie cameras counted to 900 movie cameras and was set by Richard ‘Hyker’ LaRiverie at Clearwater , Florida, United States of America on November 10,2009.
