Let the beauty you love be what you do

I am all too aware of the exalted company I’m standing in. I’m also very happy I’m standing at all after the parties this week! There are people in this theater tonight, surrounding me, whom I have admired for many years, and I’m so happy to be here. Camerimage reminds me that cinematographers, along with our directors, are in a sort of conspiracy. Whatever happens, whatever the climate or the disasters, we are always there at each shot, each setup, each day, every new film, every new week, to do something, if we can, that is wonderful. I’m grateful for the support of my beloved wife, Deborah; my family, and my friends, and I hope all the students I’ve met this week will take inspiration from the films we’ve all seen and the people we’re with. As the Persian poet Rumi said, ‘Let the beauty you love be what you do.’ Put that in your meter bag if you’re a new cinematographer, and think of it often.

En resumidas cuentas, me estoy divirtiendo. Preparando cosas, moviendo otras, matando el tiempo o matándome él a mí.

Llevo dos o tres meses básicamente fastidiada de salud, así que eso. A ver qué me dicen. Me tocan mañana análisis y el miécoles resultados de otros. Divertidísimo, con lo que me gustan los médicos. Sobre todo cuando te dan nombres raros para lo que te pasa, de los que usa House, y te dicen que a ver si es eso, porque las otras opciones... Si es que mi señora doctora tiene la diplomacia donde yo me sé. Que yo lo sé pero ella no. Pues eso.
