Note
The artist stated: "In the middle 1960s I was 2nd cameraman shooting 8mm film on Mary McNeil's movie "Please Keep Off The Grass." In the late 1970s I took b. & w. porta-pack video workshops with Andrew Krummins, who was associated with Video In. In the late 1980s I was documenting Art shows at Brad Chernoff's MacEwen Arts gallery on Pender Street using borrowed compact 8mm video camera. In between all this I've shot thousands of 35mm colour slides."
