In a way making street films is daydreaming with a camera Its capturing a fantasy youre having when youre wide awake and life is going on around you There is of course a similarity between daydreaming and making any kind of art because they both spring from that narrow groove between the subconscious and the conscious Thats when selfexpression and technical problemsolving both flow together in an almost mystical way For me this film represents that mental state I shot it in late July 2001 but put it away for some forgotten reason Its very much about everyday lifea nondescript New York neighborhood on a calm Sunday afternoon garbage cans piled high feet reading here and there but its also about the magic I can see in that world when I free my subconscious I made this film so effortlessly I just cut out one brief shot because I was so fully in that mindset which I think shows in the nature of the images
