Experimental Video & YouTube Work​​
In the late 1970s, I received an associate's degree in commercial photography and also began experimenting with video/film media then available
(video tape, VHS and Super8 film). 
Since the 1980s, SLR or DSLR cameras have never been far from my reach.
In 2014, I completed a bachelor's degree with a focus on comparative arts--
I
 took coursework in digital media, scriptwriting, poetry, and film--
and taught myself how to use video and audio digital editing software.
With these tools, the art film "Gone" and other video experiments were constructed.
