Back in the Saddle

Finally emerging from a three week hiatus from the land of Public Journalism,
I feel it is time to post a few photos from my ongoing journey through this here American Land.
Truth be told, these intense, and albeit gratifying screenwriting sessions with my friend and producer Raúl have sapped me of any residual energy for writing on a regular basis.
But all good things come to an end.

A chance meeting in a downtown computer shop led me to a man whose experience turns out to be of great interest, in the context of the story I am writing; he was a smuggler who lived in Key West for 20 years and ended up in jail for being caught smuggling Rock Cocaine in the Keys. I settled on paying him two hundred dollars to sit with me for an afternoon and tell me everything there is to know about crime in that part of the world. ‘Best way to spend two hundred dollars, it turns out… He was invaluable.

This trip has been a formidable rebooting of my system.
