I got my first camera when I was 14 years old - a Kodak Tele-Instamatic 608. I took it everywhere - the Wildwood boardwalk, Stotesbury Mansion. It was always with me. In 1980, I upgraded to an SLR - a Fujica STX-1. I went from there to a Minolta XE-7, then to a Nikon FM2. I carried the Nikon around for upwards of 15 years, with a 28mm lens that I never changed because I really love wide angles. I picked up a Mamiya 645 along the way, shot tons of medium format transparencies, took a lot of really cool pictures from awesome locations. And all the while I swore I'd never switch to digital. Then I switched to Digital. Today, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III equipped with a 17 to 45mm variable focal length lens.
I spent upwards of seven years as a writer and editor. I worked for a series of trade publications covering the Mainframe Computing world. I wrote a monthly column covering the Digital Equipment Corporation CompuServe Forum. I became the Assistant Editor of a Health & Fitness publication and wrote feature articles and cover stories. I was the Managing Editor of the corporate newsletter - a monthly publication that gave a literary voice to colleagues in the publishing industry. I've edited term papers, articles and essays written by friends and fellow students too numerous to count. And I've dabbled in screenwriting and short fiction.
I majored in Radio, Television & Film Production in the '80s. We shot on single perf 16mm film with a sound stripe. We used Bolex 16mm cameras with a three-lense turret. And we recorded external audio on Nagra Four Track 1/4" portable tape recorders. Today I do cinematic work with a Sony FX3. But I've spent quality time shooting with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, recording in Apple ProRes 422 HQ. I have a GoPro Black 13 with an Anamorphic lens that gives footage an outstanding theatrical look. I use a DJI RS3 Pro motorized gimbal for stabilization. I use an Atomos Ninja V as an external monitor. And I record audio on a four-track Tascam digital recorder.
