It's a movie worth watching but put aside the time and some preconceptions. Frankly it rambles too much, the pace is too leisurely, and it doesn't have a strong narrative thread. I'm told George Tice works like that now he is free of the frantic family portrait business that fed him for years. Point...

I can't refrain from asking. At Tintagel is the Arthurian connection proved, possible, implausible, or impossible? What do the locals say? The castle and surrounds are so evocative one wants to muse on the chance that Merlin walked those paths.

["Walter Glover"] ...I like the impact of harsh light — outdoors and in the studio... Yes, me too. But the added complexity of the two overlaid patterns, the native shape and tone of the subject plus the light and shade overlay, makes success more elusive but richer when gained. ...I'd be...

Nice tower! Bernd and Hilla Becher would have trophied this one eventually but they'd have had to wait for some drab German style weather. And they would need their students fron the Dusseldorf School to sneak over one night and cut down the trees. Better the way it is I reckon. Very witty stripes. ...

They consume time and expensive resources and furnish but passing entertainment for mildly interested gallery goers. But there's an upside too in the cleansing discipline of putting to...

Infrared film can be obtained. The last 50 sheet boxes of 4x5 Efke IR820 are turning up on the 'Bay at a tad over $3 a sheet.
