It was an absolute honor to see Jim Jarmusch this past Saturday…kind of a real pinch me is this real wait please stop pinching me it actually hurts kind of a feeling! I’ve been a fan of Jim Jarmusch since I could walk….no, perhaps that is an exaggeration but it’s at least been awhile. I am trying to think of the first film I actually saw by him and I think it was Coffee and Cigarettes. That was a film seen at just the right age where I had discovered coffee and longed for more philosophical conversations fueled by caffeine and thoughts. I thought the film clever but not too clever. More like the type of clever fitting for a film I’d actually want to be in myself-not to become famous but just to have a few good conversations. Dead Man was another film that made me realize the vital place of poetry, like that of William Blake, in this world. Years later, I would fall in love with Paterson and William Carlos Williams…the way the twins and switching of careers were made whimsical along with metaphorical plums. This is just to say that I have admired this human for a while. I have watched Mystery Train and loved the way every shot was framed with perfection. Night on Earth was a way to appreciate the moments that people never seem to account for and Ghost Dog was compelling in a way that nodded to pop culture but creating something all of its own. Even the spookier The Dead Don’t Die and Only Lovers Left Alive were genius films.
Jarmusch talked about his empathy for actors and how he didn’t want to put actors through the strenuous hardships that other directors do. He talked about being careful and particular about scenes but also imagining a human in a way that they might evolve into a character. He talked about meeting Jean-Luc Godard and talking about the difference between ice cream in Paris and in Italy. He talked about how Neil Young and he had agreed that the best day was a day without a plan. He mentioned that he enjoyed poetry but he thought the best advice about writing it was along the NY school line of thinking that you should write for a person in mind vs. the whole world. He talked about how he didn’t care for musicals outside of Busby Berkeley films and how the director of Nosferatu, F. W. Murnau, had written an essay for Colliers in the 1920s before talking films about how someday he envisioned that films would feature real people doing real things instead of just beautiful glamorous people. Jarmusch talked about how Robert Mitchum had a really vivid sense of humor. Jarmusch said he was an outlier in Hollywood because he had to have the final cut. He revealed his next to be released film will make Paterson feel like an action film. He said he wasn’t interested in owning a big house with a pool in Beverly Hills. When he was talking about Only Lovers Left Alive and Paterson, he said it was great when you found someone where even those boring moments were great.
Simply put, there is just no one this Earth quite like Jim Jarmusch….

I didn't know how the dogs would react to the ghost sheet, I thought I would give it a try but if they disliked it I would remove it from them immediately. They were fine with wearing it and were just more fixated on the tasty treats I was feeding them as a reward for their wonderful posing.

If there is some comfort in this world, it is that we still have all of the art that exists now and before us.

Getting ready for Halloween :)!
On a fun note, I was getting ready to get the shot when a security guard (this is the entrance of a NYU's building) came to check out what I was doing. When he saw Tartuffe, he smiled and let me do my thing, saying it was cute :). I guess I looked like a weirdo standing there dressing up my dog! Of course with the mask on, you're never sure what people are up to ;).
They are more than over with those costumes obvioulsy, but we (er, I mean I :)) had so much fun dressing them all up and strolling in the city for spooky spots!

Photograph something that you have had in your mind for years and you just can't let go.

"You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us." You understand? We were good fellas. Wise guys."... ~ Henry Hill (Goodfellas)
We see these guys in the same spot almost every day of the week by our house, at the same time of day, and the same number gather daily to "hang out"... At least 50 feet up,... Its hilarious... you gotta be part of the "Family" to get a seat here I guess...
**Based on Creepella's original idea of calling them "Goombahs"... LOL!!

Dundee and I are strolling one of our fav woods.
He is 8 month now and "unfortunately" starts discovering his hunting instinct. Walking around in the forest without a leash is in jeopardy for a while.

"I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend."

Once a year, he gets to scare people more than they scare him ;). Sadly for him, he's too darn cute for that!
Happy Halloween.
Sì.

I love it when there are still photos stored in the memory of second-hand digital cameras. This one's my favourite so far. Found in an Agfa CL-18.
Even in the creepiest alley, Gurky poses like a king! That is, until he smells another dog and then, the beast awakes...
Crazy how he seems to have both eyes here, and not be blind at all, looking straight at me! This guy amazes me every day.
"Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween ..."

Sempre Lei,
Un pomeriggio splendido.
Una torta (e l'espressione "da ciambella").
Un sacco di vento.
Ed altrettante risate. ♥
