There was a “blimp box” that the still camera sat inside in order to silence the clicking noise. On the movie sets, Jeff would shoot stills alongside me while I videotaped the action. They didn’t have your traditional framing or expected angles, so I was intrigued and hired him on the spot.
Upon viewing his photographs, I got very excited. In 1989, Catalina Video moved production to Los Angeles from San Francisco and we needed a new crew. I settled into my new West Hollywood apartment with Russ Meyer’s Beyond the Valley of the Dolls playing on my TV, when Jeff Burton showed up at my door to interview for the still photographer position.
