Finally!
It came from another country, to shoot as I will with it.
A little can full of potential. Except - dammit - I have to go buy a film retriever.
I won't deny that I will be reading into the images he sent me. The tender note that accompanied the film made me smile. And somewhere in my secret heart a dream was born.
Last week I registered to vote. My friend and I slipped the envelope into the mailbox and he said, "I'm proud of you."
In the past I've shied away from politics, partly out of ignorance and partly out of intimidation. But with the national situation as it is, I felt ready. In my own home of Southern California Prop 8 has made itself particularly visible. An issue I care deeply about, I would be doing my community a great disservice to let my voice go unheard.
I truly feel empowered and excited.
And in case you were wondering - it's a resounding NO on 8. Natch.
