The difference between priests and poets? Priests have rules. - rnt
FINAL CUT #11
DESKTALK: My awkwardness and ineptitude is telling. I was trained to be an art critic. As such I can truthfully say that I’m a terrible artist. All my life I’ve done things on my terms – which have zip to do with rules and/or skills taught by those who know how to do the things I want (or better said “intend”) to do.
On the other hand, I do appreciate, and very much admire, the work of others. Some people are just naturals. So as you endure some of my video work and writing you might “try” to think of me as a veritable “Grandpa Moses”.
It’s an acquired taste (with a sense of good humor and intent).
LIBERTY (A LONG TIME AGO)
IT TOOK TIME: Once in a while I happen upon some photos that “throw me”. I can’t place them in any context. So I just set them aside.
Than a time comes when I suddenly “see” where and what they are about.
Those times only come with work a perservence – seeing and studying numerous photographs.
Sometimes it takes years. Thise one is any example.
Where We Danced & Played
This is A VERY SPECIAL NOTE
NEW: I’ve added a “special section” to the “Past 20 Years” part of the page. You will find there nearly (but not all) every video and audio production I’ve published over the last few years. They’re not arranged as nicely as I want them to be. But SOME are there – and I’ll add to them as time passes.
