Description
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Humanities and Social Sciences Good assortment of establishing shots - person getting haircut, clothes drying on line, long shots of shadows from clouds against mountains, Leonard's Christian cross atop mountain. Talk with Melvin Roach who describes his work with sandstone and placing it around his camper. Varied swap meet images—LS; arrival of I.N.S. vehicle; items on table; group shots of people; woman looking through purse—are strong. At beginning of this tape the master shots document many RVs, rigs & campers of the snowbirds. A sense of their wealth is established and this is in a distinct contrast to the many locals and slabbers who live out of their cars and in makeshift arrangements.
