3 things
1. Well, I was looking through the archives and realized I had not posted a picture since Sept. 26. So here is one of the last pictures we took with Brandy’s camera. There is hope in sight, we sold my film camera on ebay and I am going to buy a digital from there too. Yesterday was the ninth consecutive day that I have worked long hours so I have not even been able to go to the store to look for a camera. I should finish up with the trimwork today and then I am going to spend some time at home working on projects that have been building up.
2. I received an interesting phone call from Dave at 1:43 am about meeting half way in South Dakota for Namminga Fest 2007. I think it sounds like a great idea! The black hills is one of my favorite places. But perhaps Dave could elaborate on this latest conceptual travelling idea.
3. The other thing I wanted to discuss was movies about artists. One of my favorites is actually a short film by Martin Scorcese in the collection called New York Stories. Nick Nolte portrays a successful painter who has an awesome Manhattan loft for is studio. He works on large abstract paintings while struggling in a relationship with a young paintress. I like that he has a basketball hoop set up in his studio and practices during his breaks. I am not sure if I like this movie because I can relate or because I aspire to live his livestyle. Anyway, if you have not already seen it you should check it out. The other two films in the collection are done by Coppola and Woody Allen. I personally did not care for either of the latter.
Another movie I wanted to see was Surviving Picasso. Have you seen it? It looks interesting.
