Stripers Gone Wild Completion Update
“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
-- Leonardo DaVinci
When I left for Cuttyhunk I thought I was finished with the project and only had to add the narration track; that was until I ran into THE school of monster stripers. This was the fourth year I either fished or dived the same stretch of water, and once again I was blown away by what I saw…enough so that I am including a new chapter in the “Hunt for Monster Stripers” section of the DVD. Now you’ll see a diary that consists of five different pilgrimages to striper heaven.
"Test knowledge through experience, be prepared to make mistakes, and be persistent about it."
-- Leonardo DaVinci
"The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery."
-- Francis Bacon
Now I’m shaving down two hours of content to produce a 90 minute piece that is ready before Christmas. I’ll be working around the clock unless someone calls and says, “The bass and blues are blitzing Matunuck Beach and they’re feeding on baby bunker. Drop everything and get down here to film it.” BTW, that trip yielded some great footage that will now reside in SGW.
"When you're finished changing, you're finished."
-- Benjamin Franklin
I think you'll agree it was worth the wait.
