Life through a lens

"Life Through a Lens is Osmond Borradaile's account of his experiences with the movies - from his childhood encounter with an exploding nickelodeon show, to his apprenticeship as a lab technician in Hollywood's Jessie Lasky Studios, to becoming director of photography for Paramount Pictures. The personal journey of a great adventurer and artist, Life Through a Lens details how "Bordie" thrived on the evolving technical demands of an art form in constant flux that changed forever the way we view the world and ourselves."--BOOK JACKET
