In 1995 I had No Idea What Lay Ahead. As a Studio Camera Op I Was Graced By Having A Director That Was The Best And Most Professional Director I have Ever Known. I Took From Him The Standards Of The indutry And Tried To Learn All I Could. After Being A Camera Op & Gripping For Production For 8 Months I Went Into News As The Editor Of 1 Hour And Then Later 1:30 Hour Morning Show. That Opened Up The Door To Learn Every Job There. News Photography Was An Experience That Is Invaluable To Anyone in The Industry To Know Where The Other Man Sits. As A Director Knowing News Photography And Editing Was Very Helpful.
As A Photographer You Never Know What You Will Come Up Upon. This Is my Most Exciting Shoot To Date.
