A Walkthru with Kathleen Connally
I spent a morning with photographer Kathleen Connally several years back. We talked, we walked. I came back hoping to put something together immediately but life got a little crazy and I had to put it aside. Till now.
Many of things we discussed that misty morning still come back to me from time to time. I think Kathleen has one of the healthiest perspectives on her art & her work. She loves what she does, she has a purpose and she is comfortable with her talent.

Benh Zeitlin – Glory At Sea
One of my favorite shorts of the year. One of the most gorgeous films, whether it be shorts or features, I have ever seen. Every shot tells its own little story.
A man comes back alive, in a post Katrina world, to lead a bunch of lost souls back to sea to meet their destiny. An great and important story told in the most beautiful way.
A classic, don’t miss this.
Some information about the project.
- Court 13 (the DVD is available for sale at their online store)
- Interview of the director
