In announcing these awards, Steven Poster, ASC, ICG's National President, said, This is my favorite time of year when we bring together some of the finest people in our field. This year we have a multiple award winning cinematographer from Australia, an internationally recognized college professor, a wonderful journalist who knows cinematography inside out and a man whose family founded a company 77 years ago to serve the art and science of cinematography and cinematographers the world over. Now the second generation is continuing to provide exciting innovations in glass filter
