| Sometimes I work with motion pictures. It's not my primary bag, but I'm proud of the work. Actually, before I ever did photography, I wanted to be a filmmaker. Cutting The Sound of Music to match Appetite for Destruction was the first art I ever did. What else? I used to work at The Matt, this crazy Berkeley laundromat, and did this documentary on it at the same time I made my photographs of it. Then two years ago I met Beatrice Sasha Kobow here at Berkeley, and she hired me on to be her cinematographer. She comes up with these amazing, eclectic ideas for films (yes, films) that are incredibly rewarding to make. I just do the camera, but they make me look good. The first one below is this movie Stanford hired me to make about the importance of crowds and crowding in the 20th century. It's part of the "Revolutionary Tides" exhibit they've got going on down there. It was projected in the central kiosk of their museum show. Just keep that in mind when you watch it. At the bottom there I've got the home video of Emily I made for my brother James a few years ago. Emily died in February. James said, over ger grave before we buried her, "She was the only perfect thing I'd ever known." You can click on any one of these to go to a page where you can see them. |
