Mountain Man

Quicktime Video

Nelson and I shot a commercial this weekend in Vermont. This man stopped by the shoot out on the sidewalk in downtown Burlington, and Nelson filmed him for about 6 minutes. This is unedited except for color correction.

   “emotionally upset puma” That’s one I’ve never heard before.

   I love finding people like this that will just go on and on talking about everything under the sun.

   I love that he calls them “pyooma” instead of “pooma”. I’d never heard that pronunciation before.

   Beautiful picture, face, reflection, voice. It’s funny - I just came back from a funeral of a photographer who shot a lot of great moments on the streets, shooting people who I’d be too nervous to approach. He was very tall, and Kate and I were talking about how many great street and news photographers we know who are very tall. I told her about Nelson and those amazing clips of people talking in Random Northwest. This was only a couple of hours ago. And this is a very similar kind of moment. I’d love to be able to get this kind of connection and openness with people on camera. It’s a gift.

   your opinions about cool towns and mountains are crap. at least you found out where the magic apples are. yokles in west texas call puymas panthers. nelson will entertain anyone won’t he.

   Superb. And a beautiful narrative. What a great character. Hope there’s more of these…

   the puma like to taunt people by leaving tourist bones on doorsteps…what kind of acid trip is that guy on? i love how he said a bear growled at him. then he said he heard it like a half-mile away…i also loved how he disagreed anytime you said something was nice or cool…he looked like a true dharma bum.
