Rosa proves that the internet is good. I stumbled upon her blog in2009 and simply had to get in touch to show my appreciation for things like this. Since then we have developed a nice sense of mutal appreciation and the Take It & Run project itself blossomed from some of our conversations about collaboration.

I was trying to figure out why I liked it so much and I think she explains it the best:
“I’ve been carrying the poem around with me for a while and noticed how I would reinterpret the feeling of it in different moods by giving different emphasis to the words. Ultimately for me the visual interpretation would always be twinged a certain sense of sadness and loneliness, I kept coming back to a silhouette of a small hunched figure but felt it guided the poem too much for the viewer. I think the wonder of reading books and poems is that your imagination is free to create it’s own image which is why films are rarely as good as the books from which they originate! I hope this is still free enough in a visual sense for people to see and interpret different things from it. ”
