wed march 25

today we asked Franklin Crabbe 10 questions as he was being held for observation/questioning in the hospital and we should be almost finished the Crabbe movie poster which is coming out this Friday March 27 (it's not really)....include all of the elements of a movie poster: the title, appropriate images, the lead actors, perhaps a glowing review / quote from a reviewer, etc. etc

a shortcut: go to : http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/poster.php for a quick way of creating movie posters

photshoppers: do it the old-fashioned, (talented) way

the avalanche ...getting inside the picture

from the point of view of the rescuer:

Another day, another rescue. These guys are out of control. Something's gotta be done. This is the job I signed up for. This is the country I love, but these backcountry cowboys are gonna get us all killed. Who knows what we will find today? When these days end well, it's the greatest job in the world, but, when they don't, well... All I know is that there is some poor family out there counting on us doing our job right. Let's hope it's not too late.
