Lost in Light intoxication. My response to this stuff always deeply romantic. It can be no other way. It feeds into my unfiltered childhood experience of 8mm - which was always one of wonder and intensity at seeing such images projected, nearly always with no sound. The sawfish footage a real treasure. The beautiful woman climbing into the car utterly wonderful. And then New Orleans... I recently saw quite a good copy of one of my favourite childhood films, The Red Balloon. In it we get to see the beautiful back streets of Paris in the 50s. These shots of New Orleans leave me just as wide-eyed and full of desire. Always an inspiration. Oh so glad you're back. I’m drunk again. Lost in Light intoxication.
