from screen to screen.

when i was a youth, in those funny and weird years of being a teen and even before, i used to love going to see movies with my mom. a saturday morning or a weekday during a school break, we would look at the daily film listings in the new york times and decide what to see. both my mom and myself were big into art films, we connected on that level and routinely you could find us sitting side by side, eating popcorn down at the angelika film center on houston, the subtle rumble of subway cars, like a gentle earthquake low on the richter scale, peppering films such as roadside prophets or la haine, as we enjoyed an afternoon together. sometimes we'd just go to lincoln plaza cinemas on broadway.

i'd always want to go check out camping equipment at ems afterwards.

going to the cinema was one of my favorite things i did with my mom through my lifetime, talking about the film over a perfectly blistered coal fired pizza crust and a root beer at john's on bleecker.

so with the academy awards tonight, i woke up thinking about those times long ago...

tonight, for the first time in awhile, i don't think i'll watch the awards. no, i think i may just work on my own film instead...

this is an old cinema in dakar, senegal. back in like hmm, 2004...

love and health to all...
