ME (mostly)
Since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease I retired but I used to be an active freelance and full time video, then digital camera operator and DP, specialising in camera jib and camera pedestal work with a bit of hand held on the side, retired after 39 years of nearly full time work.
Socially I am presently a bit of a loner, but I don't really mind that. My three daughters (don't call me Steven Douglas), grand daughter and some good friends are most of the company I currently enjoy and even those in small doses.
I seek no steenken batches here, no record number of entries, no praise or damnation. Merely entertainment, information, friends, some (mostly) intelligent conversations, lots of humour and to share what little I have to offer.
What I've worked at.
I've been a gas station jockey, been an appliance delivering "Swamper", warehouse stocker, pulp mill worker, logging "Chokerman" and a carpenter's assistant, all before I was 23 while going to uni and then technical college. Since then I've been a stage hand, an apprentice camera operator, a camera operator (known as a "Cameraman" in those unenlightened days), a videographer and finally a Director of Photography. With my trusty camera(s) I have visited three continents and numerous countries including working at four Olympics.

No, never exposing silver anymnore but realigning rust or bits (film =/= video tape, hard drives, SDHV or P2 cards)

(Thank you, six7s!)
Looks more like me twenty years ago, add a beard, grey hairs, and a few laugh lines (although I would never dare to compare myself artistically to the creator of The Dialogues with Solzhenitsyn). Or look here.
THE RULES!! (Including spitting..)
