dear readers (if there are any readers left),

the humble administrator of the art of memory has moved to the fine city of new york (specifically brooklyn) and has decided to make a new attempt at working through this website.

thanks for inspiration from danny at mubi.  i will try to make entries for as many filmic and sonic inspirations as i can find here (which are o the plenty).

i let the site go dormant in the past as i didn't think anyone was interested. in addition i got some complaints for putting up sound clips from films which was frankly quite offensive. hopefully there are some fellow pursuers of the light out there, and i will give it another go.

i started with some images i collected mostly around 2014-15 of trains. more to come....

I bookmarked this website back in June of 2007 and it's great to see it's still here. Even though I haven't visited in a while, this is one of my favorite blogs. I'm glad to know it's going to keep going. This curation of film images is a true gem.

Don't apologise for your output, or lack thereof on occasion. It's a gift whenever there's a new series of images and sounds to contemplate. And maybe those absent phases make the uploads all the more compelling.

I still absolutely love your blog and revisit it when i need inspiration and sources to draw upon.The train series is one of my favorites and would hope that you expand to other subjects that have themes.I can't believe that ANYONE would have complaints with anything on this site but i guess there are always negative people who have to push their egos upon others.Did you move to NYC for a job or just a change of culture?I think you had lived in SF and then Portland so i wonder what the draw is to a city that is so hard on non commercial creative types,I know this firsthand is why i say this.I look forward to seeing more post if you find time,but since this blog is so rich already,i can always find gems that i missed.

thanks GJ for the comment. the specific complaints that smarted happened on soundcloud, bunch of files where removed by requests of corporate MFs, ones with no music even. it was one of the few responses i got on the posts.

i lived in portland for 2 years and couldn't get any job but manual labor, so my wife and i decided to move to NYC where she is from. she got a job instantly, i am still looking. SF just got unlivable with the tech folks. I really love it here. lots of films to see, and like LA, tons of buildings and streets you see in films. i can see not being an artist here but that is true for all cities i have lived in, my wife and i both end up working in basically regular jobs.
