Union Square Viet Nam Vet and Really Smart Young Lady

Click to Play

I shifted a lot in doing this tape.  First the Viet Nam Vet who has been homeless for 23 years...as I said in the tape at the express studio (where I did my "shoot from the hip" style of editing) the parts when the camera was off were priceless and only recorded on my soul.  However the "Shoulda Gone to Sarah Lawrence" smart young lady really took me to another level when she pinned me down "Oh were your parents Nazi's?"

a comment from an artist I admire about my recent work:

Hi PAula,

I watched the first half of your show until my father interrupted me...

I REALLY love your new style, it makes it much more interesting and engaging
to watch, i.e. having a real environment like Union Square as the background.
Then when you stop it and start talking on top of it--I loved it!! It really 
makes it very interesting and holds your attention because you never know 
what's going to happen next!
Keep up the GREAT WORK!!
Love,
Anne
