Gayelle TV interview

Lots of our conversation got left on the virtual cutting room floor, including a mention of the history of the local migration to digital capture which really began with the late Ian Yee, who was the first local photographer to invest in a professional digital camera (a huge number from Kodak with a Nikon mount that captured 1.4 megapixels), back in the mid-nineties.
It was also unfortunate that Robert didn't get a chance to talk with Garth Murrell, who really pushed the envelope in turning digital photography into a real commercial alternative. In comparison with these two guys, I really flirted with digital photography until they hit three megapixels.
Now granted, I got a chance to be the first local photographer I know of to mess around with Photoshop back at the Guardian in 1990 when it was at version 1.07, but I have to confess that I lay layed by the ring for a while with digital capture, preferring to shoot film and scan it with a film scanner that delivered files the equivalent of eight megapixels.
The landscapes in the clip are by the author of TriniDreamscape, the others are my stuff.
