JULY 3, 2009 -- For R



"The 400 Blows" was released when R and I were 10 years old. Along with "Cinema Paradiso," it is a favorite of mine. I was in my twenties when I first saw it. As I watched this clip, I understood how it planted the seeds of my recent black and white photographs. I am still moved by the last moments.

'still moved by the last moments.' You and me both, believe me.

Deep breath and best to you, am.

Oh, yes, I love 'Cinema Paradiso', and 'The 400 Blows' and its sequel, and indeed the whole of Truffaut.
