I love pictures.  I love NY. 
I like people.
I am a film geek.
Nice.
And painfully retarted.

I am here to meet photographers.  And hopefully help them to create something.

One of the temptations of the artist is to believe himself solitary, and in truth he hears this shouted at him with a  certain base delight.  But this is not true.
He stands in the midst of all, in the same rank, neitehr ligher nor lower, with all those who are working and struggling.  His very vocation, in the face of oppression, is to open the prisons where art, against its enemies, justifies itself by proving precisely that it is no one's enemy.  By itself art could probably not produce the renascence which implies justice and liberty.  But without it, that renascence would be without forms and, consequently, would be nothing.  Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a  jungle.  This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
