THE MALBA MUSEUM OF ART, KARIN, and lunch along the river . . .

-
on our one down day,
we hit the malba museum of art in buenos aires
to see their collection of latin american art.
-
lovely space,
nice pieces,
but not quite the impact of a MOMA or even a GETTY.
-





-
i dare say,
the art we found OUTSIDE on the street
while meeting up with karin
was more our speed.
-




-
then off to the puerto madero area of the city,
a mini "sydney waterfront"
across from all the historic districts:
-


-
italian food on the water on a perfect day?
approved.

BACK TO BUENOS AIRES, DON'T CRY FOR ME, yet.

-
so manacop and i headed back to the beautiful b.a.
once again to film a spot for a client
in the midst of an early fall (down here).
-
the city remains rife with amazing architecture,
cerulean skies,
and some of the greatest street art out there:
-





-
the skies alone . . . 
-
this time we are at the four seasons,
which is not exactly my taste.
it's more republican chic
than park hyatt modernism,
but 
no complaints:
-





-
the first week has largely been locations scouting,
calls,
pre-wardrobe,
crew line ups,
d.p. meetings,
and stuff that eventually drove me to "landis time"
on the roof of film planet.
-






-
you have to carve out your head space,
your creative time,
and your "breathe, landis, just breathe".
