citizenjane ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stranger with a camera 07:30:49 am I took in some media last night. I learned some priceless lessons: "I have a deep nostaligia for the future" "Fashion is about never achieving anything." I read the entire New York Times newspaper yesterday and it only took 2 hours. Really though, I skipped a lot of the Business section and all of the Sports, except the article about Mike Pizazza and Roger Clemens. In that lovely newspaper, I found out about a documentary about the making of documentaries in the poverty-stricken areas of Kentucky. It was called Stranger with a Camera. Just to let Melissa know, we might say "Appa-lay-shee-a," but they say "Appa-lay-cha." I watched it on public television. Is it possible to document poverty without bringing shame to those people? That was Ms. Barrett's point and it came through beautifully. 07:30:49 - 2000-07-12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
