Seems I'm always getting caught in the rain whenever I have my camera,or does it just rain when I leave brooklyn? Regardless, I decided to break my routine and go for a run in Central park when the clouds opened up and the mushroomgods let me shoot alice, but then I had to run to the Met to see some great art. One tends to take the Met for granted when you Live in NYC... this is a mistake... I felt Like I could spend all week there.

Music is Stormy Blues with Billie Holiday and Blues for Alice: Charlie Parker

I really like your stuff. Especially when you do vids like this and Running of the Hedgehogs. It's like an audio/visual pastiche that seems to capture the emotion, spirit of little tiny moments which you combine to form a kind of sense-memory on film.

Sorry for sounding like a first-year film student, but I didn't know how to explain it any plainer.
Alex Itin 2 years ago

I thought it a pretty reasonable comment... probably third year at least.

Read the blog, I just posted a textual account of what a truly odd day it was... I'm glad you caught some of it.. it was fairly miraculous to me.

Great piece , I especially love the Central park footage and your framing of the shots, you have a great eye.
& YES YES YES the Met I could spendd a month there! An awe-inspiring place.
you ever hit the Frick? (right around the corner)
Alex Itin 2 years ago

On occasion the Frick, but it's a little Eurocentric/classical for my taste... so it's really when I need to see their El Grecos and Vemeer... sometimes they get a great drawing show there and I think they have a sweet Rafael...but the Watteau and the rest... EH... sell em to the British.

What I like about the Met (particularly now that they have modern and contemporary work) is the possiblility of making big stroke connection through culture and history. Museums are getting to specialized for the sudden epiphany where all the things you know fall away to all the things you see.... where Man becomes Man across space and time...

Wow now whose sounding like a first year student?

Oh and this video is five an six eighths times better on the blog... so peek at it there too.

I agree w/CTD3, you do have a great eye.
