Today is a great day.
We get to start moving in to the new darkroom, I just put the final coat
on the outside. There is so much
more to do though I feel like we have been through so much and come so far, one
small step at a time. I need to
thank Bryan (who is not on FB) and Ruthie (who is also not on FB) as they are
the two people who really helped me out by teaching me about flow and
construction, the thing they taught me most, "practice is the only
education (I will be writing this on the wall, so I can see it every time I am
working!)." I know this
sounds like I am getting a grammy award, though I would like also thank Alicia
Murray, Dan L Murray, John Rudy and Shannon Michael Good as you are truly
inspirations, everything you have been through you still lean forward and live
life, life looks so good on you, I love you! Several years ago I got to see a friend speak, Tony Buba,
and one of the audience members asked him, what would be one piece of advice
you could give a young filmmaker?
I will always remember what he said, "finish what you start (I will
be writing this on the wall too, so I can see it every time I am
working!)." Thank you Tony,
thank you family and friends, even though this sounds cheesy, I have been
waiting so many years (3 years of dreaming and gathering stuff, a couple of
years of planning and a year and a half of construction) to get to this point,
I am so grateful and so happy.
