I went on a small trip to Boston and New York recently to visit some wonderful friends of mine and get a little change of scenery. While in New York, after being a bit too late to visit the MOMA, I decided to create my own art. I walked over to Rockefeller Center (30 Rock, for those in the know), and scoped out a perch to make a short movie of the people skating on the rink. That’s when serendipity stepped in.
This little movie is, to me, a great allegory for the indifference of time, the cycles of life, and the beauty of simple moments. For the couple in the movie, their whole lives changed in an instant, but time continues on it’s relentless path, the slate is wiped clean, and new perspectives and possibilities open up.
I didn’t manage to catch up with them to let them know that I caught the whole thing in this movie and I’m hoping that serendipity will strike again and somehow make them find this video across the vast tubes of the interweb.
