Walt Whitman Service Area - photo essay and naming contest
A favorite magazine is putting together a Whitman & Carpenter issue. I'm submitting this photo essay about the Walt Whitman Service Area off the New Jersey Turnpike, and am crowdsourcing the task of matching lines from Whitman to each image. If you supply a winning match, I'll credit you in the caption - here and in the magazine, if they accept these. If you supply three or more, you'll get a complimentary DVD of my film-in-progress Tie It Into My Hand when it's complete in January. Put your suggestions in the comments. Deadline: ASAP! I already missed mine.

About Me
- Paul Festa
- Paul Festa’s first film, Apparition of the Eternal Church (2006, 51 min), is a profoundly original investigation into the act of listening to music (cast: Justin Bond, John Cameron Mitchell, Harold Bloom; screenings: Grace Cathedral, Barbican Centre, Library of Congress; press: “Remarkable”–The New Yorker; “Stunning”–Chicago Sun-Times; “Sublime”–Globe & Mail; numerous awards). Festa performs the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, opposite members of the San Francisco Ballet and The Cockettes, in his award-winning second film, The Glitter Emergency (2010, 20 min), a silent-film drag ballet comedy (“Enormous visual and musical inventiveness… full of pleasure and joy….Festa gives a bravura performance."—Film Threat). He produced, wrote and edited, with director Austin Forbord, and was chief archivist, for the documentary Stage Left, A Story of Theater in San Francisco (2010, 80 min: with Robin Williams, Bill Irwin, Peter Coyote; “Intriguing...entertaining...a valuable record”—Variety). Performances as violinist and actor: Center for Performance Research, Kunst-Stoff, TheatreFIRST, Stephen Pelton Dance Theater, North Bay Shakespeare. US, Boston, NYC, SF, LA and DC (Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress, on the “Betts” Stradivarius) premieres of Messiaen’s Fantaisie for violin and piano. He is the author of OH MY GOD: Messiaen in the Ear of the Unbeliever, based on Apparition of the Eternal Church, and several anthologized essays. Current projects include Tie It Into My Hand, a documentary feature about the artist's life, and Heaven Descending, a novel. Education: Yale (B.A.; prizes, honors, distinction), Juilliard (Cert., Adv. Cert., scholarships). Residencies: Yaddo, MacDowell, ODC Theater, Centre des Récollets.
