Occasional Videos

So many occasions slip into the past, only to resurface later as the thought, “if only we had saved that on video”. Years as a professional documentary filmmaker have allowed me to develop the skills to grant that wish and to capture history as it unfolded. I created this site to share sample videos I have made since settling in the Hudson Valley in 2000.

 

Feel free to see some of my recent work on my other documentary video websites, Pine Plains Views  and Hudson Valley Grows
