The DIY GUY's Other life.
In addition to the processes involved with making movies, I really like
to build things. I've joked that if I weren't a film maker, I might be a mason.My latest fascination has been with building microphones. Here are several pages I've
written about the process.
Building high quality electret condenser Microphones.
Cardioids

Outdoor Life
When I look for a house, almost more important than the place itself is the backyard, and what possibilities it may offer. In this most recent place, I've built a pergola, my typical Zen Fountains, and I completely restored a hot tub, as well as landscaped.
(coming soon)Photography
The advent of Digital still cameras has allowed anyone to become a wonder photographer. Coming soon, a slideshow of my favorite photos.
Music
Many reading this will know that I was a musician before I became a filmmaker.
While my primary instrument is the violin, I also play the guitar. At some point, I'll elaborate on
stories about both.
