Da Hong Deng Long Gao Gao Gua

That's the original Chinese name of the movie I saw in a theater today (here is a link to the movie). I really didn't enjoy watching it and was glad when it was over. I guess there are simply movies I like watching, but forget as soon as I see the next one, and those which are more heavy, but with some value for that I need some time and distance before I can appreciate. It's like with music. Some songs go as easy out of your ear as they got in. And then there are the other ones. Things that widen your horizon are simply more permanent.
What else? I was very eager to see an exhibition of toy camera photography at a little gallery called "Stay Gold" in Brooklyn, but it wasn't as good as I expected. The neighborhood of that place has an interesting character, though. I saw some people I could imagine to take my time and photograph. However, I didn't ask anybody.

Cartier-Bresson Exhibition

Cagil and I had a multi-cultural weekend in New York City (including Cafe Horus and Zum Schneider) and visited the International Center of Photography.
The Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition has (besides original images and rare scrap books) a display with a slideshow where you hear him talking about his work. I could listen to him for some more hours, but it was not more than 15 minutes long. Also interesting: The Martin Munkacsi exhibition.

I didn't really go there, just stopped by for a moment while on the way to somewhere else.
