Video: Ricky (Ricky Powell Mini-Doc)
From director Will Robson-Scott and Spine TV comes a 10 minute mini-documentary about legendary New York City photographer and downtown personality Ricky Powell.
Now 50, Ricky’s lust for photography and music is still strong. Through his eccentricities such as his love for a transistor radio and feeding squirrels in the park, we gain an insight into his everyday life. Retrospective of New York City and how it has changed over his lifetime, he shows us around the city and contemplates what the future holds.

america isn’t a creative nation, america has always been a rest-haven for foreign artist to emerge.
andy warhol was the last if not only modern artist from america…
america is quintessentially a continental bill board for sale

I once heard someone say, Hollywood was the only unique aspect of American culture
but even with hollywood they seem to be running on fumes, re: film ideas & new stars

Hopefully you are only talkin art because Americans have pioneered so many industries creatively in the last 10 years
But pretentious people run the art world so their views are moot.

CP all in due time. That peak is not even close and boundaries are gonna keep being pushed
^Boundaries are sure to become boundless fam. The one constant in life outside of inevitability of death is boundaries being offset and eradicated. Progression is a must. As long as time exists, boundaries will always be pushed back.
From the creation of fire and that being the chief technology down to holding all of the world’s info in the palm of your hand in a smartphone. Shit is extra impressive.

Honorable Mentions ? : Steven King

Aren’t most and greatest of Martin Scorsese’s movie adaptations though?
As well as Steven Spielberg?
In fact all of them.
Though I guess their artistry comes from the way they direct the material..

Also, they’re the first doing what other communication component companies are mimicking.
from the technological view, apple is single handedly changing the way phones work altogether.
Apple has it’s own processing cabinet. It’s own set of communication towers that need to face off because the data being processed will overload standard R.X.A.I.T. Microwave emitters. Their using magnetic grids that use shortwave correspondents.

Cern is responsible for the internet, and although it is a Swiss creation, a lot of the forerunners on the project to globally amplify it were American.
