My Story
Overview:
My first camera was a Kodak instamatic I got as a birthday gift
when I was eight. In junior high I took a class where we used
SLR cameras and developed and printed our own film. In my
early twenties I carried my own SLR camera and fantasized I
would become a photo journalist. I have always loved the
camera and I'm obsessed with making beautiful pictures.
I got my first job in video at a small company in 1991 and
over the years I have worked on thousands of TV shows,
corporate videos and special events.
My whole career, I worked for others, as a freelancer or an
employee, so this website represents the first time I am
in business for myself and marketing my services directly
to the public. I am very excited to be developing relationships with new clients and telling their stories.
I don’t think Money should be an Obstacle to getting beautiful, high quality video and photography and since I'm just starting out, I will be taking a flexible approach to pricing my work. Let me know what budget works for you, and I will tailor the work accordingly. My basic approach is to work alone and with minimal gear. With my years of experience, I make Video that looks expensive, but isn’t.
More about Me:
I moved to Orinda in the early 60's, I was 5 years old.

Thanks to my network of friends I was able to transition to
working as a free lance camera operator, editor, graphic artist,
