Great to hear from you! I did a number of photo shoots for the archives over the years, but yours always stood out as one of the most creative approaches to the subject. In fact, yours and Annie Liebovitz’s shoots were the best — and I was lucky to be photographed by both of you!

After working as both the Archivist and as an ILM Model maker simultaneously, ILM sold the model shop in 2006. I continued working at the new company for a bit then split off with my own company doing commercials and films. Currently, I’m working for a company that spun off of the old ILM modelshop making trauma training mannequins for the military and first responders up in Petaluma.

I also recently produced and edited a short horror/suspense film that won a number of awards on the film festival circuit — it’s currently on Amazon Prime: “Keep the Gaslight Burning” — would love for you to check it out!
