just moment

Take a cab to the other side of town to a recommended photo lab to hand in a film and discuss cost and printing technique. Some very friendly customers help translate. Prices are a lot cheaper than in NY or Europe.

Cab to Lido to take some cash only to discover I have left my credit card at home - what a bummer. Buy bootleg DVDs of Vertigo and Killing by Numbers, take another cab to Platform to pick up my card and go back to Lido - you got do what you got do.

Spend a lot of time negotiating with the printer at 798. Want them to make a test of the translucent water series before they start the job. Enjoy a tuna salad at At Cafe while I wait for the test. 5 1/2 hours later I just made it out of the print shop where this cute girl was running around saying "just moment" till I almost lost my mind. The Chinese consept of time can drive any New Yorker up the wall. They are supposed to deliver the prints to the gallery tomorrow afternoon - we'll see. Have to send some mail but the connection is not good.

When I get back to Platform, the lights are on upstairs and I hear banging and welding. The metal worker really came with 3 helpers and the frame for the fence is almost done. It looks great! These guys know what they are doing. With very basic tools they're done in no time.
