Something in progress.


1st AD, Director.

Listening to show archives, I found myself remembering that I had loved the lyrics to that weird Ukranian song. The one I claimed was Michael Jackson's Beat It?

It was called Vorony; or Crows.

When so-called friends tell you what to do
listen, just do what you really want!

My friends said, "don't look at her,
she is too young and doesn't understand"

When amongst crows, crow like them
When amongst crows, crow like them

On their advice I left her
And tears flowed down her face

When amongst crows, crow like them
When amongst crows, crow like them


I was genuinely moved by these lyrics back then, and find myself still moved by them now. Is it weird to say something "moved" you on the Internet? Whatever.

The picture is from a batch that I'm struggling to work on for a friend that are absurdly overdue. It's not retouched at all. I guess I'd describe it as "personal," whatever that signifies. (Apparently it means I don't have to Photo Shop it. Huzzah.)

Looking at these made me want to write a thank-you letter to have when I sent them. But it might be a little while until they're ready, so, basically, it's premature. But now it's written, so... attached it finds itself.

I cannot write tonight.

To Mayuran, Alvaro, Matt, Rob, Jean, Vanessa, and Shy. (And the wonderful cast and crew, but that might have been everyone.)

I am embarrassed to send these to you so ridiculously delayed, and I would not begrudge your dismissal or frustration.

I dropped the ball.

But I do want to say that shooting you all was a great pleasure. I rarely shoot people laughing and cavorting joyfully. I got the scans, and said, "Who took these?"

You are beautiful people, and I loved the opportunity to work with you, however briefly.

Mayuran; I love you like a brother, and would take an ass-whooping for or from you for your friendship. Your opinion is one of the top three in my life that I'll listen to and come to for clear-headed, thoughtful advice.

It was an honor.
