One of the neatest experiences I had at this year's New York Film Festival was finding my photography a source of assistance to some colleagues.

I'll not make that mistake again.

Picture it. A pleasantly divey bar in the east village. The personae: John Lichman, Vadim Rizov, Matt Prigge, and me. It was an absolute honor for me to be part of, taking part in an in-depth discussion about cinema with people who not only get published in high-profile venues but who are also known electronically.

I had a blast, and would love to do so again.
