I remember the tags “Chewy”, “Cornbread” and “Dr. Cool” being EVERYWHERE in Philadelphia during the early 70s.

Thank you, David. I am, and have been, throughout my life, now in its 71st year, a photographer, a musician, an aquarist, and a seeker after beauty and meaning. This film, and the documents and images that I have found, this evening, on your website, are a lovely addition to the world that we get to inhabit.

It is absolutely criminal that the films of James Whitney (and the early films of John & James!) have not been available on any home video format.

@@perkypat2214 Me too, I actually met Cecile Starr during an interview of her in her NY apartment with my friend, then RISD student Wendy Jackson. Cecile produced the Pioneer Visual Pathfinders series for the US editions. Wendy's interview with Cecile was published in an Animation Journal edition. My point was there has never been a video release of any of James Whitney's films or the early films of John and James Whitney. I would love to see blu-ray editions of the complete films of both John and Jame's films, but I don't have much hope in that happening since I have been fantasizing the same thing on DVD for decades and Laser/VCR for decades before that!

@@7karlheinz When I first became familiar with his films I looked everywhere I could for a physical copy to own. All I found was the visual pathfinders japanese edition laser disc. It's a shame there isn't a high quality rip of it on KZbin, I would like to do it sometime but I don't own a laserdisc player.

What I appreciate about John's early work was there was nothing like it. He was inventing a mathematical space that was more like music and an art form than some representation space we are accustomed to in modern digital graphics.
