This month I learned about myself from watching the work of Robert Croma. I tend to look at details. Close up. Slowing down moments in my mind.

I shot this event in 2003 or so for an organization I work with sometimes. I was trying to record the whole thing – that’s what they wanted. I was also trying to respectfully stay out of the way of the crowd gathered to watch.  I would carefully look at the light, try to anticipate the next activity, set up my tripod and camera, run my mic out to get decent sound, tape things down. And then, every freaking shot, this twerp videographer from a local news channel would come stand right in my way and ruin the shot with his fat ass.

Croma’s work helped me take a new look at the “ruined” footage with my true eye. I like it. Thanks, Robert.
