I am going to watch this again in winter.

Once again, great stuff Alex!

Wow this is probably my favourite by you so far.

Those balloons....

Haha Alex I really enjoy your videos, they are so entertaining.

Really dug this one Alex. The mix of media and your personal narrative gives this piece light. This is a fantastic look into the Itin.

Painfully good.

i'm on a conference call while watching this, so i don't have the sound up. i'm getting so much enjoyment out of this clip even without sound. i especially liked the crying little girl on the slide.

oh i totally will. i'm still stuck on this conference call. it's never going to eeeeeeeeeeeeeend :-/

is that your art work?

nice homage to the little red balloon...
plus the wont go down the slide girl,
who then does...

something in me wants to see this through a super 8 filter...
like if it was shot in the year the music was recorded...
or in the year you were born?

yes when she goes eventually down
we see how much we all have to learn.

we should all wear our hearts on our sleeves
like your words do.

the mix of your voice with the music is just perfect.

Excellent.

I imagined that you had thought out the narrative with care. I didn't think it was a free flow of expression and am all the more impressed. The poetry and rhythm of the words fit so well with that of the music, which fits so well with the rhythm of the images.

Thanks so much for this. I lived in NYC long time ago and this is a sweet reminder of all those street fairs that just popped up everywhere.

Looks like a fun and fattening day.

Your a really great cinematographer. Good eye and great imagination

why ARE you wearing those glasses?

I dig the rambling monologue and its connection to both the images and the music.

Damn that was really amazing!! Best city in the world and that made me love it more

Did that girl at :43 slide down ?

Hey! --Alex!! Your vid is truly an amazing work of art!!!
I like the way you blow it off by nonchalantly stating that you "went to a bunch of streetfairs ... and played with the crowds". Quite frankly, it would take me months of shooting and then weeks of editing to begin to approach the quality of your work. Although I live in NC now, I lived in the city and worked on John Street for some time. I, too, enjoyed the streetfairs and took great delight in just strolling and studying the other folks out for a relaxing day. Many, many kudos!

Hi Alex ~
Such an Artist and Storyteller.
Your art work is...well ingenious !
Love such abstract, cool in application
to your video.
Tumbled it.

This feels very Faulknerian. I like the monologue. A lot.

Dillitante..

Link ? do you mean mine ?

Silly me, thought tumbled meant something
else.
My link is,
