The Girl in the Moon

It is a closely guarded secret that well-to-do families from the Moon occasionally send their children to Earth, to grow up in the sunshine, fresh air and heavier gravity of our planet. Crosby Campbell grew up living across the street from one of them. The Girl in the Moon will be available soon on WWW.SCROLLON.COM.

Dino DeLaurentiis…

(reposted from sevenextraordinarythings.com)

… died Wednesday night, November 10th, 2010 at the age of 91.

I made a movie with him a few years back.  He was 87 at that time, producing three pictures at once and none of us could keep up with him.  He was alternately tough and charming. He forced me to stay on budget, on schedule and learn the correct way to eat pasta. Once, after meeting with two well known actors, I was telling Dino which one I thought was better suited to play the lead in our film. Dino frowned.  “If you put a gun to my head, and told me I had to choose between them,” he said. “I’d take the bullet.”

I am honored that I had the chance to work with him, and be a small part of his enormous career.

An English Bulldog in Italy

He was outside a small shop in Florence, and looks the way I felt by the end of our trip.

Gelato 2

Project “Ice Cream: Italy” continues.

I’ve made it through many of the Gelaterias in Florence and have begun searching other towns.  Along the way we took some pictures:

Lucca
Barga
Volterra

Gelato

A photo of the most important attraction to be found in Florence.  I feel it’s my duty to sample ice cream in every shop that sells it.  This may take a while, there are a lot of them here!

And for you traditionalists, a few pictures of old buildings…

And the Arno river, from our hotel room…
