About Me
Formerly a pro photographer for several decades, from photojournalism to freelance work shooting everything from crafts to portraiture to architecture in film formats from 35 to 4x5, I now work in IT, which pays bills. I have worked as a freelance video camera op and as DP and camera op for a number of relatively simple conference broadcasts from ballrooms and small studios. Have studied a dozen or so books (and counting) on film and video production.
Presently shooting in what little time I have with a couple of used Vixias, mainly for an ongoing project as a one-man crew, begun with a Canon GL-1, recording historical interviews. Editing in latest Vegas Studio.
Art preferences Classical. Influences in still photography include Mathew Brady, Walter Rosenblum, Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, Eugene Smith; in painting, the Flemish school including Rembrandt, the Italian and Northern European Renaissance; cinematography, similar preferences -- not so interested in the flood of action-violence films. Music, Classical. Play the piano a bit.
Actively involved for four decades in political efforts to spark a new renaissance.
