Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...
keep those photos… Probably better if I stop there. Anyway, business has gone berserk in February, to the point it’s “clear the set” and immediately set up the next shoot. Cosmetics, wine, more cosmetics, possibly rare earth magnets, etc.

Terry Gilliam School of Film: 10 Lessons for...
nevver:
Growing up is for losers.
Film school is for fools.

iPhone Photojojo Lens/Case

11/10/1975
Thirty-six years ago today a fierce gale on Lake Superior sank the huge ore boat, the Edmund Fitzgerald. All twenty-nine aboard were lost, and we were reminded that we live at nature’s whim.
