ventured out and got my ingredients for my fajitas! was sooo excited to make them that i rushed home and started to prepare. seasoned my chicken (can't tell you the seasonings or i'd have to kill you) then threw the slices in the pan. swiftly moving i had 2 pans A-flamin...amidst my tossing and flipping and pouring and dicing i managed to spill allllllllllllllllllllllll of the chicken i had just grilled on the floor. NOT TO WORRY! it's all good. (arg.)
i grabbed the rest of the uncooked chicken i had saved for tomorrow and started over. voila. theres the whimsical story that goes with these colorful flicks.

if you don't know who clayton patterson is, look him up. yeah, open a new tab and google "clayton patterson". this man is a revolutionary and is beyond inspiring! documenting 30 years of the lower east side in New York, he is the definition of change. the documentary "captured" was well done, kudos to him.
