Description
Humanities and Social Sciences
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art
Good cutaway of sign: "Showers, $2.00. Children, $1.00. Inquire at Space 10." Interviews with Warren Lamb (Mail Man) and The Desert Trapper tend to be mediocre and not real strong. Shooting from truck roof towards pet cemetery; also, cutaways of graffiti on old water tank. Camera pans across Leonard's mountain to chronicle his water buckets, palm leaves and cave-like inner room.
