Mitch Parnes -- for no particular reason -- is kicking around Amsterdam and the European continent. Born in Manhattan (appropriately, in the year of the Rat) he's a fine-art photographer entrenched in B&W who eschews the digital and still precariously clings to the ancient medium of film. Writing, acting and directing for the theater since he was a wee lad he has, for the last five or six years, been writing and doctoring screenplays in the desert of Los Angeles. This foray into the journalistic for Spoke has been most enjoyable and he's looking forward to making more contributions in the months and years ahead. You can contact him at
