One more from Chesterfield
Yesterday’s events started off with a tug-of-war, boys against the girls. Girls won.
Solar gain
B-boro in bloom
The Jeanne Johnson Memorial Garden outside the Brattleboro Retreat.
Fiddleheads at the Student Prince in Springfield, MA. Never had them before, they are excellent! And the Student Prince is great too… who’da thunk it?
I went on a pilgrimage of sorts to Guy Fieri’s restaurant near Times Square last night because of this review: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/14/dining/reviews/restaurant-review-guys-american-kitchen-bar-in-times-square.html?_r=0
I like Fieri’s TV show, but after walking into the place to get a drink and being completely ignored by the bartender I gotta agree with the review.
Mormon Tabernacle
Jesse and I wandered over to Temple Square for him to take a look around. We fended off the friendly advances of the Sister Missionaries, and went into the tabernacle. Somebody was playing the organ, practicing, and the whole building shook.
You can’t go home again
This is the sad sign on the door of the former Johnny Kolache’s. I was one of the very first people to write my name in magic marker on the wall.
Yin and Yang
It’s an astonishingly beautiful spring morning.
Flags are at half staff to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Behind the Brooks House
It’s been almost 2 years since the devastating Brooks House fire. The new owners have tried very hard to get financing to redevelop the gutted property, but they’re still struggling.
The daffodils don’t care.
And now for something really interesting…
Fresh from the heady triumph of my cinematic debut “Open Elevator Car” I give you now “Rushing Waters.”
You see, it’s more water than usual, and it was making this big rushing noise…
Ok, I get it… stick to still photos.
New to video
My meeting in Copenhagen took place in a wonderful old building with these cool open elevators running on a giant chain. You just step in when it comes by. If you want, you can go all the way to the top and come around the other side. Amazing! Unique! A little scary… If you got stuck somehow you would lose a leg.
But how to capture this on film? I never shoot video.
I thought about Tarantino and Eastwood and Spielberg. Of course I also thought about Bergman and Godard and Buñuel.
In the end, I had to settle for a few seconds of cool open elevators going up and down.
Spring!
Thank you Liz for the tulip bulbs.
