After a very full summer, I am happy to be at home watching the rain fall. The Summer has turned into Fall. I welcome the transition.
Cassidy and I just returned from Interbike in Las Vegas. It was very tiring to be surrounded by so much stimuli from the bicycle convention and the Strip.

While we were there, I thought a lot about where the Long Distance Project is now and where I am with it. As a whole, we have made a lot of progress. We captured a lot of footage from our last gathering here in Brooklyn this past July. But I have only seen my footage and am so excited to see yours, Kathryn and Yulia. I haven't begun the editing process with my own footage but want to do so when I have all of the footage to play with. It is hard to get a full picture of what we have at this point. I feel more committed than ever to move forward with our collaboration. My intention is to find more ways to show/share our work.

In filming our Brooklyn portion of this collaboration, we had three cameras filming at any given time- three cameras, three perspectives. Will our editing show our individual and collective perspective? Or will we edit our own cameras footage independently from the others? We shall see. In the process of looking at what we did together we will begin to see the whole picture more clearly.

It was an amazing gift to dance together at Prospect Park with Kathryn and Yulia. One of my favorite moments was seeing Yulia entangled in the ribbon, that was also entangled around the trees. Kathryn and I then joined Yulia, and as a trio it felt like we were moving to the sound of the wind vibrating the ribbons. My other favorite memory was of finding the marching band practicing at the the other end of the park. We made our way over to listen and Kathryn began to dance so beautifully to their music. We were blessed with perfect weather, Cassidy's and Brooke's filming assistance, and the amazing art installation made by Melissa Diaz.

So much more to come...
