The Collector

Discovered a dreamlike warren of an antiques store in Issaquah. In the front yard, among the rusty old farm implements, statuary, and whirligigs were many deer, elk, and even moose antlers, but also several of these Georgia O'Keefe numbers.

A flurry of excitement in our obscure neighborhood as a film crew shows up for a one-day shoot at the local Chinese restaurant.



Well, actually not all that exciting, as it seems to involve a lot of hanging around on the part of the crew.





Meanwhile, the extras sit glumly in the "TALENT HOLDING", which as modest as it is, is still the most action the deserted old Red Apple grocery has seen in a year.



And in the rear parking lot, mysterious rustling observed inside the wardrobe trucks...



Had enough? No? I have a couple other shots over on Red Apple Elegy, along with the usual succulent red-apple prose.
