Peter Andrews

In a lengthy article on Cinematographer.com, it's revealed that Steven Soderbergh was not only the director of Traffic, but its director of photography as well (under the pseudonym Peter Andrews).

The article explains that this is a rarity in modern feature films, and I admire Mr. Soderbergh for it. He turned 39 last Monday, January 14. During the director's commentary on Out of Sight, he explained that he operated the film camera during certain scenes, and you could tell in his voice the enjoyment he derived from it.

Do we enjoy what we're doing? Are we doing what we enjoy doing? I like reading and knowing about people who do.
