WINTER EVENING FILM AT MoMA, NYC



(continued) After church was out, I walked over to the Rose’s house, In this photo they are preparing to go out for a walk and get something to eat…. So as soon as everyone’s hair was combed, diapers dried, all the toys and jackets packed, we all walk around the block to a place Theresa had read about in a uptown magazine, to get some take-out food, we walked over to the park and set at one of the park benches and eat & talked as “Big Sister” Rose road around on her scooter (I think that's was they call that thing she was riding!!)...But.... anyway...afterwards we left the park,...went to PathMark to get a few groceries…. I walked with the Rose’s back to their home…

I continued with my Sunday visiting,… I invited myself over to Literary Agent Marie Brown’s house, her house was one of the house’s that was on the Artist-Open-Studio Tour earlier that day, she was exhibiting Clamenza Hopkins Painting’s,…Even though it was late in the evening, I know they would still be there winding down the evening with food, (Marie had prepared this really-truly delicious salad) and interesting conversation, I met the most wonderful group of woman their, I hope to gather again at another time.

That’s it for that Sunday in Oct.…This is what happened today, I was so proud of myself for getting so much administrative work done today, a lot of research reading for grants & exhibitions,…I did not crochet today…this is not a good thing…

6:00 pm:..I was on a panel for The Bronx Council for The Arts organization BRIO (Bronx Recognizes it’s Own) Titled: “HOW TO APPLY” for the 2008 BRIO Awards for the Arts, I was a past awards panelist and BRIO asked myself and other panelist and BRIO award recipients to give application insight and tips to new applicants....

7:45 pm,…..After the panel…For the hi-light of my day....I rushed down to the Museum of Modern Art to catch the film, “Shakespeare in Love”,… This is one of the many reason I got a membership at the Museum of Modern Art,… to see endless films…(I you so desired)…. free for member… on the big screen, home video’s & DVD’s are fine,… But,….

8::48 pm,… viewing a film on the big screen is divine,… I can see why this film received The Academy Award Best Film ten years ago… for me,… the patterns, textile’s, costumes and the women’s hairstyles & hair-ornaments were, just,…(to say the least) stunning!!!, even though this was a film that used very few colors, they stayed with a (very well lit) rich natural color palette,… accentuating the lead & primary Actor’s and sets….and….. THEY! (snap) WORKED! (snap) THAT! (snap) PALETTE! (snap) TO! (snap) THE! (snap) “9”! (Double-snap)…. Oh,,… Yeah…. The acting, direction and cinematography was good also…Definitely,… A Must See Again & Again!!!…
