i was reminded this morning about an aspect of city life that i had forgotten about...window washing - i awoke to a 'squeaky squeaky' at my window, only to find a man suspended from ropes just outside - i've been repelling before, but these guys take it to an extreme - it was pretty fascinating to watch them in action, but there was definitely a sigh of relief when they safely reached the ground
my most recent photo session was with a young actress, who just finished wrapping up filming her first independent film - it is scheduled to premiere in new york, la, and dallas - and has recently become a contender for sundance - though her career seems to be taking off, she was really down to earth and fun to work with - and by the end of our session, she insisted on sharing my name and contanct info with the producers of the movie - so hopefully, the next time i see her, i will be photographing her on the red carpet at that dallas premiere!
jj turned the big 2 - 8 this weekend...not exactly a milestone, but a wonderful friend deserving of a big celebration nonetheless - and all i really have to say about this post, is that i find my friends to be completely adorable...
and of course, we celebrated st. patrick's day this weekend - which, in dallas, means the largest parade of the year - a record attendance of 80,000 people and over 100 floats to observe - with bagpipes, green beer, mardi gras beads galore, and a host of other colorful characters...it crushed the christmas parade in excitement, energy, and just plain fun - i can't remember the last time i was in such a large crowd of people who were all totally drunk...before noon - you gotta love the irish!
i had the privilege of spending time with a very talented local film maker this weekend - we spent hours in his studio watching and discussing several of his edited pieces and documentaries - beautifully lit and well composed works of art, that for me, was like witnessing really great photography in motion - to see some of his work for yourself, visit his site right here
to keep my art buzz going, i decided to complete the evening with a little gallery hopping - the public trust and 500X had both great shows and great turnouts - several of my favorite artists were in attendance and we decided to keep the party going and the spirits flowing at a great uptown bar
