Just For Fun…A 1951 Christmas Card Gag

With all the ABC mentions today and the shot of KECA’s first cameraman (Bob King) last week, I thought you would like to see this. I don’t think this is King, but it is one of the first few cameramen there. I love the made up name, Elwood Q. Pantiltingham! Just so you know, one of our friends here is a top independent cameraman who’s email address reminds me of this…his is, focustiltpanzoom@. Enjoy, share and be good for goodness sake…Santa’s watching! -Bobby Ellerbee

    He resembles Errol Flynn or Paul Newman to me

    I came up with the style and word combo in 1973 for my business card

    There was a sign on Frank Reynold’s office door at ABC-TV on 66th Street: “He who drinks water–thinks water.”

    He looks a little like Kovacs to me.

    Backstage at Radio City Music Hall… I’m with focustiltpanzoom shooting Michael Buble’s Christmas Special!

    Rather Kovacsesque! (Or is it Kovacsian?)
