At its heart, this is a memoir about seeing.
For fifty years, I stood behind a camera, always rolling.
It took me farther than I ever imagined.
From feature film sets and Super Bowls to prison yards, remote villages, and projects around the world.
I met presidents, prisoners, celebrities, survivors, athletes, scammers, and people whose names most of us will never know.
I thought I was filming their stories.
Only after I put the camera down and started writing did I realize I had also been living my own.
This is what I saw when I finally looked back.

From the other side of the lens
You can film everything and still miss what matters.
You can't hug someone with a camera between you.
The camera taught me to see the world. My family taught me to be in it.
THE STORIES
Mel Brooks blessed my name.
Muhammad Ali rope-a-doped me.
From fashion runways to homeless doorways.
Some made me laugh.
Some changed my life.
