![]() ![]() Broken down into 13 lessons in life, this is a gentle and melancholy film that, given his advancing years, could be Leiter’s swan song. ![]() Leiter muses on religion, his scholarly but cold upbringing, age, art and relationships, while his take on photography is refreshingly free of ego: he doesn’t seek to control and believes taking pictures teaches us to stop and look. 2, 2014 Now considered among the very best of the New. By turns self-effacing, wise, humorous and peevish, the 90-year-old Leiter is at his most poignant when remembering his long-term partner, the late Soames Bantry. In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter Directed by Tomas Leach Documentary Not Rated 1h 15m By Daniel M. Now we are granted a first-timelook at this body of work, which Leiter began on his arrival in New York in 1946 and chipped away at overthe next two decades. ![]() He’s a prolific, intelligent artist whose meditative and quietly observant persona is reflected in his street pictures of urban lives in passing. In the 1970s, Leiter plannedto make a book of his nudes, but never realized the project in his lifetime. ![]() Throughout this documentary, there’s something sloth-like about Leiter: in his New York drawl he claims he’s lazy and unambitious yet his cluttered apartment, which he attempts to clear, tells a different story. Now regarded as a pioneer for his mid-twentieth century work with colour, he’s associated with The New York School whose alumni included Diane Arbus. Saul Leiter was a respected fashion photographer until, in his twilight years, he became renowned for his abstract photographs and paintings. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was in her secret refuge, a broad, flat shelf halfway up a cliff. She sat up and looked anxiously across the Valley. It was an Antonov, the predatory, slow-moving reconnaissance plane whose incessant growl was the usual herald of faster, noisier jet aircraft on a bombing run. ![]() Swelling over the river's chorus came the baritone of a propeller-driven aircraft. ![]() Listening, she heard something else, and she realized that the new sound had made her aware of the old. When eventually she left the Valley she would find the silence unnerving, she thought, like city dwellers on holiday in the countryside who cannot sleep because it is too quiet. For almost a year that sound had been constantly in Jane's ears: sometimes loud, when she went to bathe or when she took the winding cliffside paths between villages and sometimes soft, as now, when she was high on the hillside and the Five Lions River was just a glint and a murmur in the distance. THE RIVER came down from the ice line, cold and clear and always in a rush, and it filled the Valley with its noise as it boiled through the ravines and flashed past the wheatfields in a headlong dash for the faraway lowlands. ![]() ![]() ![]() What makes it so unacceptable is that it took place in America proving that there is no perfect place to live but instead, lots of work to be done first with the self, then with each other and of course unto God the one who started it all up to begin with. Slavery had been going on since mankind matured and traveled the globe respecting no one. ![]() Sorry to say but necessary to be told is the shameful part of history where one race thought them selves superior to another and used degradation, pride, and perversion to assert this.

I remember at the time this came out on TV, the black people were in desperate need of something to hope for of which Martin Luther King had supplied and had done so successfully before his death. ![]() Even today, it continues to beckon to anyone who watches the show to ask your personal questions of your own start-up. Who wouldn't find their own ancestry fascinating? That's why this was a ground-breaking event never before scene and why it captured vast audiences for decades.

The Robertson’s small Georgia-based team, led by Andrew “H” Smith and lead engineer Lee Penn, took it upon themselves to carry out extensive development work, without the support or backing of Ford, in what turned into one of the true privateer efforts of its time. It was a bold endeavor at the time, with the car, initially built by Doran Racing, struggling in the highly competitive GT2 category in the ALMS. ![]() The story of Robertson Racing began in 2008 when commercial airline pilot David and Andrea Robertson, an airline dispatcher and private pilot, etched out plans to take the Ford GT racing in the American Le Mans Series. It stands as the most recent outing for a Ford or Ford-powered car in the race, prior to this year’s four-car Chip Ganassi Racing effort. ![]() While Ford makes its highly anticipated factory return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, five years ago, a husband-and-wife team, running with a fraction of the manufacturer budgets, took their own self-built Ford GT to an unthinkable podium finish in the world’s greatest endurance race. ![]() |
