Aww... I really didn't mean to sound too hip by name checking Sonic Youth, and I didn't mean to belittle Edson's long, varied career as an actor. Yes, he's been in tons of movies, which I wanted to make clear by linking to his IMDB page.

But he is the lead character in Stranger Than Paradise, and it's a movie that deserves to get rediscovered regularly (unlike Good Morning Vietnam), which is why I mentioned it.

And he is flat out great in the film. His photos though - who knew? They're excellent.

Wow. That's just insane.

What can you say other than... Arkansas.

Here's a link to some images from the gallery opening in Culver City.
