I just finished watching Dark Days, a facinating
documentary on a very unique neighborhood—one that existed in the subway
tunnels of New York City. Granted, these were formerlly homeless people,
but can you really call them homeless when they made their own homes (okay,
huts made out of found plywood) and had electricity (and at one point,
running water)?
Equilly fascinating was the making of the documentary, where the film
maker, Marc
Singer, managed to rent camera equipment, bum B&W film, use the subjects of his film as film crew
(and he himself had no experience in making films) and solely on the subject
matter of his film, get it developed, edited and scored for an incredibly
low amount of money, where it went on to win several awards at Sundance 2000.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
