Dad, wherever you are, you are gone but you will never be forgotten.
With today's fast films, you can light the way your eye sees the scene. You can abuse the film and create subtleties in contrast with light and exposure, diffusion and filters. That's what makes it an art.
The sun is the most parallel light source because it is so far away.
There are a lot of directors who are knowledgeable about images, and others who aren't.
I can still recall the thrill of shooting my first film.
I think one of the reasons people quit is because they're afraid they won't be able to get better and better; that they have to come to a zenith of some kind.
