Introduction: Convention and trend are not things I strive for. In elementary school I made a realization one day that nearly every boy in my class had a particular brand of white basketball shoes. At recess I noticed it was more than just my class. Somehow there was a certain shift in trend that my classmates were aware of that I had completely missed. I was too busy scouring the library for ancient history books, scientific encyclopedias and riveting autobiographies. Learning, discovering and creating are my natural posture towards what I do. There are plenty of cinematographers and directors who can deliver a look that is correct according to the arbitrary guidelines of the time. I too often make a living doing this kind of work. What stands out about my work is that I am more than willing to try a new way of telling a story, conveying a message, or revealing a concept.
