In the 17 years at WWL-TV in New Orleans I rose from parking attendant to Director of Photography in Commercial Production. In that role I worked on 6 Super Bowls, worked for every major domestic network and many foreign networks and shot hundreds if not thousands of local and regional television commercials and witnessed the change over from 16mm film to videotape.
