We had a great time on Friday Night at City College of San Francisco. I gave an 1.5 hour "back stage tour" where we learned about the intricacies of the story, technical aspects, and conceptual undertones.The highlight for me is always the questions that come up at the end, ones that I've never really thought about before.
Question Of The Night: Rocky, since you write the story, design the set, and take the photographs, what would you consider yourself—an Artist, Director, Photographer, or Writer?
Answer: At the moment, since this is my first "walk through movie," I still look at myself as an artist that chooses photography as his tool. However, as my career progresses, and I release a "walk through movie" every 1 or 2 years, I will probably transform into more of a Writer/ Director.
In case you missed it, below are a few teasers from the 150-slide presentation.

A Cambo 8x10-inch with wide
angle lens and bag bellows.

this body of work.
We
shot over 2000 8x10 sheets of film over the course of five years—and sadly,
both of the types of film that you see here, Fujifilm 160s and Kodak Portra 160 are now discontinued
.
