Part 1 of my interview/documentary "Gone Fishin' - An interview w/ Russell Chatham'.
In this installment, Russell talks about his family and most notably his grandfather, a successful, Carmel based, landscape painter and largest influence, Gottardo Piazzoni. More on him at this site: http://www.bolinasmuseum.org/exhibition10048.html
In the midst of working for Russell building frames and other handy-man tasks, I'd realized no one had ever sat him down and asked him about his life, his art, his passion for fly-fishing and his up-bringing. I made it my job to do so. This was my first effort at making a documentary and w/ a budget of $0- I was the whole production team except for being camera guy, this goes out to Rob Ralston, Kyle Bring 'B' camera and on a momentary 'C' camera, Lenny 'America' Woodward.
You can watch the whole version here in it's parts, or purchase copies of the DVD by contacting me @ gonefishin2009@yahoo.com. The DVD contains additional interview footage and Russell Chatham video I'd made for his 12 month lithograph suite on the Missouri river.
