Manhattan - Day 39

Fall in the air. This morning up for my walk which took down through the village as usual. The air had that crisp feel that was a sure sign that the cool nights of fall are her to stay. As I turned the corner from Bleeker and onto Hudson, there was the Saturday morning farmers market at Abington Square. I snapped this shot of these cauliflower which seemed an apt symbol of a fall day.

The 100 films . . .

In this blog I'll be writing about the 100 films that shaped, in some way large or small, who I am today. They won't be presented in any particular order and not all of them will make this list because they are great or even particularly good films. Perhaps some will be represented for a tiny, seemingly insignificant scene or line – something that I carry with me each day, while others will be here because I can slip into them like a well worn sweatshirt that you slide on when you're feeling down. Some will be works of art that continue to challenge, enlighten, or amaze me while others will be included simply because they continue to entertain me viewing after viewing. To others, some of films that will appear here might be considered great while others . . . well . . . might not be considered worth considering. Anyway, here it goes. Hang on my friends, the new year is here and I am off and running.
