It's hard to transport myself forward in time, and the scarcity of opportunity back then kind of fueled my ambition. But back in my day, every family I knew had a Super 8 camera, and that's what I first picked up. We adapt to the technology we have available.

Trying to shock, but with wit, cleverness, and homosexuality.

A refusal of nature as a model is a tradition that goes right back to Oscar Wilde.
