Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
Photography is a very important part of my life.
It was 100 feet of 16 mm black-and-white film of a car coming to a stop sign, and driving off. I had to decide how to frame and light it. It was magic. There was a sense of mystery.
Manipulating shadows and tonality is like writing music or a poem.
I suppose I would still be a communicator, maybe a musician.
My peers say I have made a difference. That means more to me than winning an Oscar.
