From the Vault: Miss Barrie in New York

Before I showed work in Italy, I made it into a show in New York that was part of a film festival. My work was shown in Madison Square Garden, and my name was up on the marquee, and until that happened, I’d never had anything like that happen ever in my life. I stood in the snow for I don’t know how long until the marquee cycled and my name came up in giant freaking letters.

It was during a garbage strike too, so it wasn’t a pleasant task to stand in the blackened snow, surrounded by giant piles of black garbage bags, half buried in rotting snow.

On the corner across from the Garden and the hotel we were staying in, there was this all night diner.

So I took a picture of Miss Barrie. It was a little after one in the morning.

You can see how she felt about that. *g*
