Description
Humanities and Social Sciences Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art More with Leonard during first five minutes of tape—MS of Leonard from low angle as he works the adobe; master shot of the mountain. Long shots here balance the interview and MS of other tape. Additional tape with Michael Mack (aka Dry Gulch)—“I like my privacy, I like to be alone a lot.” Dry Gulch comments how the range runners and scrappers can “make more in one day than others make in a month on welfare.” Gulch’s dog is named “Pea Brain.” His attempts to light his pipe by hand is an interesting hand gesture. (Though there is more of Dry Gulch on #172, matching shots would be an issue since he is wearing different clothes.) This interview is the stronger of the two since Dry Gulch speaks more clearly and the background is stronger visually here, too—“Home" is painted behind Dry Gulch.
