Going through my phone archives, found a few clips from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Before things got strange with covid. It was awesome time seeing these guys, especially this close. RIP Dallas Good

The great and mind-bogglingly prolific author Edmund White. I shot this during 1989 International Festival of Authors in Toronto, the first time I heard him read. From thereon I read all of his books in his voice, colouring them with more depth and a conspiratorial salaciousness. RIP #edmundwhite
