Sriracha-Yes or No?
Sriracha. Yes or no?
There’s a really good 2013 documentary film by Griffin Hammond “The film features David Tran discussing the origins of his Huy Fong Foods sriracha”.
Sriracha is worth watching and you not only learn how it came to be but understand why the hot chili sauce is so popular.
But do you like it? Yes or No?

Wings of Desire in Berlin
Tonight I saw this ad for the amazing 1987 film DER HIMMEL UBER BERLIN /(Wings of Desire) directed by Wim Wenders. Showing now in Berlin at Kino in der Kulturbrauerei
Steve and I watched this on a VHS tape from the Homewood Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, due to my sister’s recommendation.
1954 KODACOLOR Memory Captured Before It’s Totally Faded
You may have old KODACOLOR prints in your home, fading away.
I captured this one with my iPhone. Not much color left.
I’m posting this one to say Happy Birthday to my brother David.
I’m almost two, he’s almost 5 – in this picture of the two of us sitting on our dad’s knees in Montclair NJ.

At the Movies
There were a handful of us in the theater Friday night. When Steve and I walked in theater 7 we made four. Two more couples arrived before the show started. We saw the Amy Adams film Arrival which had a 94% positive rating in Tomatometers. I hadn’t been to the movies in awhile. Guess it’s the same for others. Home on the couch in front of the TV or out listening to music? They weren’t at the theater(s) lined up to buy tickets. Friday night used to be a big night out at the Movies.
Two people arriving on the right, reading the board. GThis week’s challenge is Relax. Show how you unwind. We went to the 6:30 show. It was desolate.
there were boxes and boxes of new chairs to be installed
Meet the Man Who Made Copies of the Film Quart Jar Poet
Imagine Audio Media President
Meet Dino Pandolfo who graciously consented to be part of my People at Work Series. He has a full recording studio and can create multiple copies of DVDs and CDs(see below) right here in Ingram a West End neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
The Quart Jar Poet: Dorothy Holley is a film I made in 2005. Dorothy was a good friend to me- an encourager. Dorothy Holley-Poet, Friend
Dino created the copies to be used as a fundraiser for Madwomen in the Attic-he was a pleasure to work with and they look wonderful. He even carted the boxes to my car.

Light and Landscape Show Opening in the Cultural District
Photographer Joey Kennedy‘s solo show, presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, opened tonight at 709 Penn Avenue, directly across from the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts.
You may be familiar with Joey’s elegant wedding photography.
I met him at Silver Eye Center for Photography a few years ago when we were in a Self-Portrait show. He has always been generous in answering photography questions.
Tonight Steve and I went to the wonderful and well attended opening and bought a print. The prices on his prints and stretched canvas photos were affordable! Familiar skylines and bridges in soft fog, Allegheny Cemetery scenes, trees and scupltured angels, the incline- just as the show is titled- Light and Landscape
Followers who viewed his images made the selections for the exhibition AND the size of the printed photo was determined by which on got the most “likes”.
“Kennedy invites the public to participate in the exhibition’s image selection by visiting his Instagram account, instagram.com/joeykennedyphoto. Each image included in the exhibition is tagged #lightandlandscape.”
The good news is that the show is up until April 12th.

Making Another Movie in Pittsburgh
It’s always good news for the Burgh when the filmmakers come to town.
The movie making industry is thriving in Pittsburgh. Here’s a list of films shot in Pittsburgh.
I saw a number of trucks and trailers in an East Liberty parking lot as I drove to school, early this morning.
On the way home, I drove by again and asked a man in a truck with the door open what was being filmed. He told me Kerosene, The Last Witch Hunter. (with Van Diesel )
I called to him and said “Enjoy the city while you’re here” and he said “I live here”
then he told me that 98% of the crew live in Pittsburgh.
He was very nice and I drove around the Penn Circle to get home and saw more trucks, lights and filming.
Stalled traffic made it easy to catch a couple of quick shots. On the way back from Bernadette’s South Side Bday party I asked Steve to swing by the route again on the way home. Still working into the night.

Not much to see really but a road closed and a blur of the Motor Square Garden dome in the background.
