Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Scarlett Johansson and Woody Allen

Harlem World-Blog View
I went to my friend, & fellow Tisch alumnus, Rod Gailes’ New York Premier of his feature film “Camouflage” last week. It’s a very intriguing, thought provoking visual journey/film shot during the pre-gentrification of Harlem. I believe Rod began production on “Camouflage” close to 15...

A “Social Realist” Painter
Reginald Marsh (1898-1954) * American artist painted New York City life of the 1920s and ‘30s.
I love the “movement” of his paintings. You can see the fabric flutter, hear the music…terrific.
