My personal still-photo collection began in 1950, on the Monogram Pictures' Johnny Mack Brown set at the Iverson Ranch. My mother, ignorant of the union's rules, took along our little Kodak Brownie Hawkeye tucked away in her purse. After that, our trusty camera was always with us whenever we visited the film sets. Sometimes we were lucky, sometimes we weren't, what remains is my collection.

The Fugitive photos were taken with my Polaroid. The two cameramen on the show let me walk around boldly taking my shots as they both figured Polaroids couldn't be copied and would fade in time--boy were they wrong.

In the late 60s, the union rule was changed, more people (including most crew members) began bringing their personal cameras to the sets. I went to work for the studios in the 60s, bringing my camera out whenever I wasn't too busy working.

The Webmaster of this site, Jerry Schneider, and myself are starting off by submitting, for your perusal, my personal behind the scenes photo collection. It is our further intention to invite anyone else who has Behind the Scenes photos of movie or TV shows to add to this page, until it grows, and grows, and grows.
