Who are you, George?
Cinematographer // Photographer // Musician // Writer
Growing up, I wasn’t much more than a kid with an uncanny interest in the natural rhythms of the world. I was constantly observing, and trying to take apart the world around me to figure out how it worked. When I was introduced to my first SLR camera around age 7, I didn’t think much of it. I quickly learned that there was no better tool to my goal of understanding the world around me, and isolating the most beautiful parts. This obsessive search for the intrinsically beautiful aspects of the human condition is at the core of everything I do.
