vilmos zigma. legendary cinematographer. if you don t know his name, you sure as hell know his work. the oscar-winning close encounters. the deer hunter. his absolutely evolutionary work on mccabe and mrs. miller. the long good-bye. deliverance. he created a whole new palette, took crazy risks, changed film language in ways people still try to imitate. and he s making our camera crew very nervous, i can tell you. you taught yourself to shoot. basically, i always tried to use my father s kodak camera. my luck is i became sick with kidney disease. i was in bed for a month and an uncle of mine gave me a book about a great photographer.
