They lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow…

When I tuned into NY1 for the 9/11 ceremonies to hear the reading of the names they’d only made it to F; when I went back later they’d reached the R’s. I’d missed hearing the name of the only person I knew who perished that day. Rebecca Kaborie was a college classmate from Ohio, a…

Under Moneyed Clouds An Artist Unfurls
August 8, 2010
Published Attitude: The Dancer’s Magazine Fall 2010 The gods of Wall Street beamed from halcyon skies during the last performance of Paul-André Fortier’s mesmerizing Solo: 30X30. It was another matter on the ground, as it took more than the charms of an agile Canadian to reach those overachievers who plowed past Fortier’s temporary domain at…

James Gammon, Character Actor 1940-2010
July 20, 2010
Who do call when you need someone to be a crusty codger? In looks and voice, Gammon had the genre sewed up: in films since 1966, his was a pervasive presence on the tube (guest spots galore, but remember him as Zack Rosswell on The Waltons?) and the big screen (Cool Hand Luke, Silverado, Urban…

Home Fires
July 17, 2010
I’m a memoirist; in my mind’s eye the past is a series of boxes filled with people, events and places that time recasts over and over. Depending on shifts of perspective and mood, the land of what-used-to-be can emerge in ways that can baffle, annoy or overwhelm. In Cincinnati, the city of my birth, my…

Joe Deal 1947-2010
June 23, 2010
At the Robert Mann Gallery this spring I had my first encounter with the work of Joe Deal. His vistas deify the beauty found in desolation—the sprawl of fields, plateaus, and badlands beyond our urban sprawl. A space opens in your head when viewing his work, wonderlands wrought by time and the elements but miraculously…

Ronald Neame 1911-2010
June 20, 2010
An extraordinary artist whose uneven output as a director nonetheless yielded some gems. Thrice nominated for Oscars (the screenplays of Great Expectations and Brief Encounter, special effects for One of Our Aircraft is Missing). From The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie to The Poseidon Adventure, few directors could match him for sheer craft or versatility….

Black Dots
June 17, 2010
No it’s not an art installation. This is a photo taken off the shores of Alabama about 100 miles from the Gulf Spill. Sad, sad, sad. Check out the story at Towleroad. And read the piece in the New York Times about the forgotten folks in Bodo, Nigeria who have been putting up with this for 50…
