ROBERT BURRILL began this film in 1974 when he began a series of films called, "The Contemporary Photographers" which included "pilots" on; Steve Crouch, Al Weber, David Cavagnaro, Ruth Bernhard, and Morely Baer.
"Dwight was the first "pro" I filmed, explains Burrill, so that footage at Pigeon Point, CA confirms, that, 'Life is a shutter-speed!' I simply exposed Dwight's film at 1/30 of a second and 35 years!" RLB

Dwight's film premiered July 11, 2011 at his show, "LAO-TZU: TAO TE CHING A Meditation in Black and white", at The LightBox' Gallery in Astoria "Photographers don't 'take' photographs, Mr. Adams insisted, they 'make' them. Caswell defines the craft.
"Look for a new DVD-in 2011-entiled "The Traditional Photographers"
