[Konvas] Haskell Wexler RIP

[Speedbird@acousticturtle.plus.com]

Sad news.  "In the heat of the night"  is one of my favourites and of Ofcourse "Cuckoo Nest" too. That nurse still haunts me to this day and the Indian chief's first spoken words knocked me over.

Today's cinematographer's do not seem to have the flair or the system they work under will not allow them to shine!  They now rely on the editor and digital toys to make images come alive.

Isn't it funny, films have more longevity than humans!
