Final Update: aug. 23 2012
this is probably my final entry here.
after several showings in various places the MOVIE was finally released. they put it in a book thingy. i don't know what it's called. it's sold as a book. it's what I call a collectors edition. you know.... and artsy book.
beside the 18 minutes of my segment the unusual cover it contained a DVD as well as a POEM WRITTEN BY ME!
I felt honored when they asked ME to write a poem for the book. the ONLY poem in it.
heres the poem.
youthful curiosity spreading it's wings
anxious to see unkown things
road adventure never ends
pondering what was seen
realizing the air was clean
asking why
beautiful sunsets
at night the universe in thier eye
beautiful sunrises
raptors in the sky
animals and flowers abound
narry a lock or key to be found
wild creatures stalk the night
snoring loudly to scare the fright
eating the ones that taste right
immersed in colors
sleeping with guns
when no time exists it passes fast
these are the timeless ones
call them hermits or recluses
in shanties and shacks and clefts in the rocks
thier empathy isolates them from the pain
they don't live for gain
awake when you want
go to sleep when you want
do what you want between
never a clock to be seen
sensible life free of strife
these are free human beings
i wrote it one off. i wish i had done some editing.
so now I am a published poet.
goes to show you never know.
as promised, they sent me copies of everything ( except the book "from here to there: alec soths america" which I'm sure was just an oversight. i did buy one though. ) my images appeared in.
the production company ( sophie mas) graciously sent me three copies of the dvd.
Finally I must comment about what a wonderful experience it was to be involved in this project. it is certainly one of my lifes memorable experiences.
I feel I have made friends for life.
SOMEHOW I feel I haven't seen the last of them.
I hope not.
