If any of you have seen the movie "Smoke" with Harvey Keitel this might
help inspire you for PAD. Keitel's character in the movie would go out
every day, set his camera on a tripod at the exact same corner with the
exact same framing and at 8 a.m. on the mark he would make an exposure
regardless of what was in front of his camera. It lent itself
wonderfully to the plot and when he leafs through his album you really
get a sense of each day's character and the passage of time. Well worth
seeing on a number of levels.
