About Me:

I am a cinematographer/cameraman/focus-puller gaffer. Over 40 years experience producing, directing, shooting, lighting and editing for film and video, using a wide variety of formats and equipment. Before working with moving images I was a still photographer. Then I moved into filmmaking, in 1968 and fished up in 2005. I now have a studio is on the outskirts of Greenwich Village in New York. The studio is a corner of the mid-19th-century warehouse-cum-stable ''I kept looking and looking, and I kept coming back to Charles Street. One particularly sunny day I walked up to the roof and the sun was moving across the water and I said: 'O.K., let's think about this place.' I have now been here going on three years and I love it here on the West Village along Manhattan's Hudson River waterfront. I always had this ambition too put my photos into a book but now with the internet I can show my photos on my blog and that what this blog all about. http://www.justblogme.com/clearwatenyc/

Interests:

As a professional cinematographer for over 35 years in the film industry you learn to take those opportunities when offered. Any chance that I get, you take. I have work on some of the best movies every made. I have good and bad memories of all the people have met over the years in front and behind the camera., I decided to start a journal that would show off two of my passions, writing and photography. I hope you enjoy this photo journal.
