This Friday I went to interview Clayton again, and it went really well. I got a lot of pictures, and I tried to get as many different angles, facial expressions, etc. as possible. Still, it's hard to vary the type of pictures I can get since he is confined to his room and a wheelchair. I think considering the circumstances though, I did a good job.
Last night I really started putting everything together. I started piecing together the audio (which is so hard because I have over two hours of amazing stuff that has to be edited down to five minutes!) It's very hard to choose what to cut and waht to include, but I am working on it. All of my pictures are edited, and so tonight once I am done with the audio stuff, I will put it all together into a Soundslides type of project.
I did take some video, but I really don't like it, and I have decided i definitely want to do black and white photos, so video would look weird with it.

Great, glad to see you got some more stuff of Clayton. After looking again at the still photos I was going to suggest that you just set up a video camera a few inches from his face and let him talk. He has an incredible relationship with the camera and he looks so haunting. I've got an idea about using the stills in a sort of timeline set into the video...but I'm not going to upset the apple cart at this point. You have some great stuff, and I'm glad you didn't try to do the whole medical marijuana story. I liked the discussion about his room as prison, and see the pot as the only thing that breaks down the walls, and allows him to wander, through his music, if only in his head.
