Robert’s View

I learned photography in high school, adapted to videography soon rather easily, and a few friends pointed to me for shooting their weddings, a service which took years to get out of!

Between and during, I worked as an independent computer consultant and worked a couple Silicon Valley startups. Interesting times.

Later, I spent a half a decade in Information Technology, got laid off along with thousands of others at the time when my employer sold a major division to a rival. I received a package after spending some six months through the transition period. I received a severance package thanks to my original employer's agreement with the rival.

I spent nearly four years working piece meal jobs after selling my home...it wasn't that bad, except for the quiet.

I went back into video and luckily, I now combine both computing and video (along with photography) at my current position within Cupertino's Communication Department.

I continue my personal internet projects:
My site to show off: http://www.ReunionHall.org

My tools: 20D, XL1s, DSR-500, DCR TRV330, G5, G4, MacMini, 2 Mac editors at work, HCH, ZX900r, 12" PB, iPhone v1, Dell Insperion at work, and the many, many commercial, shareware, freeware and open-source apps out there!

Once said to me, "You just come up with the ideas, we'll do the rest." Oooh, to know back then what I know now!

On digital photography:
I often tell late comers, "You don't have to count down from 24 or 36 anymore!"

My Quote:
"Give me the tools...I'll make something with them."
