Pre-production beach house trip. The Atlantic was too temtping; most of the work got done at night under kersone or candle light. No electricity Oh and how do we have internet you may ask?

Laura and I agreed we should in some way pay respects to Flo's religious practice. I found a voudou practitioner up at 104th st., Leslie Lowe Extraordinaire, who dressed a candle, which we discussed while she prepared it, for 2hours. As a Katrina survivor felt she wanted to offer this to us, for Flo, his loved ones, and for Haiti. We followed her instructions as to what do and say, and Mary found some more info online.

A quote from Flo from his interview for Art 21 blog: "I have a few guiding principles, which I think must propel me toward artistic freedom: Don’t hide, don’t lie. Do that which scares me. Resist the urge to settle. Be as many things as possible in this lifetime." He definitely lived up to his principles, and I am so proud of the life he created. His life was the best work of art I can ever imagine.
