Back To School

Three minutes of light, dancey Caribbean-style music by yours truly set to pictures and film clips.
The pics are of varsity-team players and other back-to-school-early coeds snapped from her Cowperthwaite Street Studio window [which looked into the entrance to the Mather House dining Hall] during the late summer pre-season "boot camp. The piece is dedicated to her personal trainer, Doug Bennett, who makes a cameo appearance, a lineman on Harvard's best ever Varsity Football Team - the 2004 Ivy League champs. It's sweet. Give it a pass. | |
