Trojannate's photostream

I'm actually a filmmaker, having directed two feature length documentary films, one for PBS, and planning to produce and serve as Director of Photography on another.

I attended film school at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and held an internship with Robert Redford's production company, Wildwood Enterprises.

All that to find I want to live in the Midwest and work in Radiology. That has changed in the last year to pursuing the occupation of dentistry.

Very recently I rediscovered a passion for photography (I learned photography as a high school journalist and through a National Geographic photographer who taught me at USC). Just the simple beauty of composing photos, and the quick turnaround time (films can take well over a year to finish) were a big draw.

So I'm happily reentering the field out of pure love for the medium and the hope of making a little extra money on the side, just doing something I like. The great work and spirit I've witnessed on Flickr was a large part of this decision. Thanks to all the great photographers here who regularly contribute their passionate work and their expertise.
