Amir Jaffer's video: All Things Considered - A Short Documentary

"All Things Considered" traces the artistic journey of photographer extraordinaire, Philip Rossetti. After selling his cameras in the late seventies and giving up on decades of film photography, he purchased a digital camera at the age of 62 and took to the streets, his creative spirit reawakened. Rossetti stalks the grungy back alleys and wrong sides of the tracks to find striking images of things abandoned and decayed. He lingers in the back corners of trashy dollar stores and dingy Chinese markets to capture consumerist scenes abounding with cheap plastics and stinking fish -- diurnal images made stunning through Rossetti's lens. "All Things Considered" offers a slice of Rossetti's talent, his humor, and his passion, which come down to this simple mantra: art is where one finds it.
