LIGHT WRITING By MICHAEL DURAND
My first single lens reflex camera was a Minolta SRT 101 which I purchased for about $250 in 1973 in a huge camera store downtown Manhattan. The following year, as a freshman at Nassau County Community College, I was the leading contributing photographer for "Illusions," the school yearbook, and had 24-hour clearance to use the darkroom plus all the film, photographic paper and chemicals I needed.
From 1974 - 77 I was a writer, photographer, Feature Editor and the Feature/Arts Director for "Statesman," the student newspaper at the State University of New York, Stony Brook.
For decades I bought rolls of film and had them processed into pictures, which, in this digital world, is starting to sound rather archaic - like telling stories of how the driver of the dairy truck went from house to house and delivered milk in thick glass bottles to the metal box on the back steps.
By 1990 I bought my first video camera, adding sound, motion and more complex composition to my work. In the mid 1990's I had my first experience in television production. Since then, I have produced or worked in a wide variety of roles on hundreds of television productions.
Now, knee deep into the digital age, I am snapping thousands of film-free digital photographs and then putting them up on this site. Incredible.
In 2006 I bought a new digital single lens reflex camera: Canon 20D. Eight megapixels. Amazing!
Throughout all the changes, my love for freezing a moment in time, capturing a memory, making art, recalling an emotion and telling a story is still as strong as ever.
To end on a light note, here are a couple of my weirdest photos...
Thanks for visiting!
