Reality is just a group hunch. I think I heard that from Lily Tomlin.

I've been missing this. Posting stuff. Been working a lot and watching some movies in between sleep and general functioning. I watched a doc on Bukowski recently and his notion of dismissing some rule-sets was inspiring to me....not his vices, but his commitment to his own way of thinking. I admire people who take risks with their own voice. Those voices are what keeps my professional work interesting and my own unwork alive. I miss this. I miss you. I need to keep this little simple sketchpad going to keep my own little voice alive. Practice. That's what keeps it interesting.

Cakes in a custard shop window in Chinatown. Topped with fruit and decorations that look like noodles. Can't beat that.

Another photographer for me to stalk for a moment. ...Like this one I followed in Central Park. This time, it's like they aren't there. Nothing stops around them, but there is a very clear room that they appear to be in to me. Invisible walls. We're good at having those in our pockets for quick release. Those decisive triggers. Life isn't the same once it's been recorded.

It's that time of year to see the window displays on 5th Avenue in New York. They're quite phenomenal. It seems like a challenge to shoot in the city sometimes since everyone is doing the same, so when I get a slightly different take than most I am happy. Seems that I was there right when the finishing touches were being made. I appreciate the care and craft so it was nice to see a face attached to the project for a minute. Magic made out of stuff.

Friday, August 25. 7 PM. Two Boots Pioneer Theater. It'll be fun! 155 East 3rd St. Advanced tix: http://www.tix.com/Event.asp?Event=62851 This is my second film like this and it's really an interesting way of making work for me. Basically, as I add to this videoblog, I am adding to the larger pot of clips to choose from. Each time I make a 60 minute film, they are different. I can change the context with titles and the choices I make with the clips I choose...and the order I put them in obviously. They are always different - even if the film includes some material that may have been used before. I'm excited and ridiculously silly about it. Why not? Thanks, Henry for filming me while I share my enthusiasm with the world. Anyway. This is part of a larger program called Vloggers Unite.
