If you are fortunate, a time comes when you have to accept
who you are and you stop trying to put a label on yourself that will be
accepted by others. I am an
interdisciplinary artist that puts words on paper, photographs, paints with light
and pixels and makes videos and films. People
say it’s impossible to be successful if you don’t concentrate on being good at
that one thing. It may be true. I am also guilty of telling this to people and
believing it. But I’ve also accepted
that success as defined by society may not be my truth and destiny. My truth is that my success depends on continuing
to have the privilege to make art on my terms.
If not successful, at least I am lucky.
And, although it unsettles me to admit it, happy from the joy I get from
this freedom. I hope my destiny is to
make art until I die.

This photograph blew me away. I could not stop looking at it. This is exactly what we strive to do with words first in a screenplay: to tell a story visually. Wow. Just wow.
"Most of my pictures are compassionate, gentle and personal. They tend to let the viewer see for himself. They tend not to preach. And they tend not to pose as art." Bruce Davidson
The photographs below were not part of Streetwise, but I decided to put them up for my own reference.
Here's a short clip of Miranda July's first feature. She looks younger in real life.
