The General Situation

Flip It Good

Before Christmas, my friend Lisa told me how you could get flip books made at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens—as a photo-booth aficionado, I was all over it. We went one afternoon, with the goal of getting stocking-stuffers. Obviously, I brought a wig and a mask.

We had a blast—we must have made about 15 total, some of just Lisa, some of just me, a few with both of us and the wig and the mask. This was my favorite of the duets; I love the way Lisa falls out of the frame at the end.

"Flowers"

A lovely poem from the February issue of Poetry.

Flowers
By Wendy Videlock

for my mother

They are fleeting.
They are fragile.
They require

little water.
They'll surprise you.
They'll remind you

that they aren't
and they are you.
