4 Anniversary

  • 2. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.
  • 3. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I mean certainly writing painting photography dance architecture there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.
  • 2. To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
