Shuiyang High School, in Anhui Province, rural China. Last week, I taught these two songs to the students and then later made this little film from the songs and from the many photos I'd already taken. I showed the film to the students at school today. November 2006.
James Taylor at the Beacon Theatre, New York. A song about Northern Ireland then...or it could just as easily be the Middle East now. Who will say "this far, no further"?
May 27-28, 2006. I went to Tongling to teach English to primary school students. It was wonderful. Joyful. Unforgettable. Some, if not most, of my best moments in life are simply being around little kids.
Chilling scene from this great film. I know that views are divided on this film (and its subject matter) but, in my opinion, Syriana is one of the great films of all-time.
March 2001. The very first time I met Albert, now a close friend. A rare instance of a turning point in one's life being captured on film.
The ballroom on Nanjing Road that he speaks about is (or was) above McDonalds, on the corner of Jiangxi Road. Foreign visitors to Shanghai wouldn't know about it - reserved for old cadres.
