SISters of the gion
via Kenji Mizoguchi
Such a thing as obligation
if I had things your way.
Single exception.

While I was preparing to write during a staged conversation with Fernando
Botero at American University in Washington DC, I encountered the above
amongst the blank paper I had brought into the Katzen Museum with me. I
don't recall why I had held it back, but on this occasion it struck me as a
snapshot from that film viewed quite some time ago as part of an extensive
retrospective at the National Gallery of Art of the intriguing Japanese
director. Perhaps my rough draft from the occasion with Botero will revise
into a text I'll make public in the future. For now, here's access to some
of the images from his powerful show "Abu Ghraib":
