Michael Zapruder’s Rain Of Frogs Review
Michael Zapruder’s Rain Of Frogs New Ways Of Letting Go (Howells Transmitter) It’s imaginable with a last name like Zapruder, you’re expected, as an artist, to document some pretty major occurences. It’s the same name gracing the infamous “Zapruder Film,” which unwittingly captured the sideview of President Kennedy’s assassination.
