Mr. Cr4sh–

Please hurry and come to Texas so we can use a “$14 homemade SteadyCam”:http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/ to make our film short. I believe this device will make our masterpiece even better than we had originally envisioned.

Yours,
Jim

P.S. I still think “Quitter”:http://www.lyricstime.com/lyrics/52438.html will make the best soundtrack.

everything can be reduced.
all greatness and all failure
is built from the same basic parts.
everything starts as just a hill of dirt.

Each pile of dust and stone
holds the cure
for the world’s worst disease
and the cause
of the world’s next genocide.

You determine what it will be.

Fuck dSLRs. I’m getting a 4×5, an enlarger, and a very nice scanner. Why not? It’s a lot cheaper and gives infinately better results.
