Interesting to see a comment from a TV director. It's not TV, but my
favorite director is Ingman Bergman. Aside from the content of his
films, I love his sense for photography (yes, also before he joined
forces with Sven N.), and I find him to be the main influence on my own
photography.

I read an interview with Sven Nykvist where he said Tarkovski drove him
out of his mind because the latter kept wanting to look through the
camera...... the _cameraman's_ camera!

Thank you for your comment,
Bernard.
