Babel?

"i saw babel few days back, have you seen it? i like it lots, and in a weird way reminded me of your work - mayb because i really
like how different locations of the world are juxtaposed next to each other, suddenly japan, mexico, morocco, you're like jumping from one culture to the other, everything so familiar to you, yet when put together in one narrative just seemed bizarre, yet totally cool -

SO, i just CAN'T WAIT to see your film~!!"











that's bita joon alright, the female filmmaker whom i got to work with very briefly. when i thought of this whole globe hopping documentary work she's doing, i just get so excited - as an audience, i enjoy seeing a wide range of visuals, and to imagine it being edited all together, linking all the different countries she's been to, it will be a feast for the eye. this pic is taken by ryan lash, a videographer/editor/photographer whom i also got to work with many years back, and he actually met bita in london and shot some work together too! what coincidence.













(2pm, January 22. London, UK. Here's a lame shot of the cross walk outside of the Abby Road studios. I was in town shooting some video for a friend who was working on a documentary and needed an extra pair of hands. That's her in the Afghan burqa - Ryan L.)

yupp, among some of the crazy work we had to do... ;-)
