I like to take the subway from the lower east side up to this stop at 110th at the north rim of Central Park and then make my way down studying the light of the park...

There are no community partners for the videopoem...the videopoem is not safe...nor is it corporate...it doesn't really stand for anything accept for expression in the moment...lately, that expressioin is more and more about decay...and juxtaposition...change the dial, turn the frequency....meaning found in contrast...

Proust, Kerouac, Celine...

kerouac updated Proust's method of capturing consciousness in the moment putting it into a hip American vernacular...he was also influenced by Celine who wrote his novels in conversational style...my obsession with taking pictures comes from practicing this tradition...the moment flies by so fast...usually, we are so absorbed in our subjectivity it's hard to see what's going on...it is only after time has passes can we see with some objectivity at what has transpired...at least in my humble opinion...here is a shot at the end of summer beginning of fall in 9/27/08...if hadn't taken this picture this moment would be gone forever...now, I know it's not popular into your forties to be into the rap but when I see people my age pictures on facebook it usually makes me want to cringe...into etched their face into that petrified forest look....did they allow it or did they do it themselves...?...the words splash real...
