A Wonderful E-Mail from My Sister Regarding Our Videos

By Benjaminkanarek @bkanarekblog

Just got this very sweet e-mail from my Sister regarding our videos and asked if I could share it here and she said it was okay. Thus, I will share it with you here now...

i watched every single video (all your fashion vids) last evening on your youtube channel. i've never done this before. while i was watching i got so involved in the vids that i had suspended (unknowingly) my
relationship to you. each one is a film in itself. then, when the camera would capture a quick pic of you
i realized 'that's my brother'. it's the FIRST time through this mental suspension that i was able to enter this universe you've created with Freddie and the amazing team of artists who work with you both (stylists, makeup artists - Topolino is freaking phenomenal, manicurist, assistants, models etc).

there is so much going on 'behind the scenes' - to produce each narrative. i also like the interviews with the models - gives them a 'voice' behind the so called 'hanger' also makes me think that you wouldn't be where you are if you had not made every single choice along your creative journey....rather, mind blowing.
photography chose you - not the other way around.....


et i kinda realized that it's good that i have no interest in who is famous, who is rich, who is at the top of the
heap (it's never fazed me, ever) - because it enables me to be where i want to be - always have been - peripheral and in the familial background. it enables me to appreciate your work from an objective perspective.

having said this and having watched all of your videos - objectively speaking, your work sucks.

love
