Exciting morning walk at work yesterday when a fire at the old Viet Wah space that started shortly after midnight flared up again.
When a derelict building burns the process of gentrification is expedited.
This is our first Nirvana Wok video. Quality not that impressive - the iPhone camera works best on a sunny day. Hey - if you give me a million bucks to make a film I’ll make something that looks like a million bucks. Production values — at least the ones that consumers are used to — are paid for. In the meantime, I’ll continue wandering the neighborhood shooting no budget phone videos.
