DCS200 & SuperBowl
The launch of the new DCS 200 Camera, the first with an internal hard drive, was close to the playing of the SuperBowl that January. A number of high profile sports photographers, were loaned DCS 200 cameras to attempt shooting the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys, digitally, for the first time.
The game was played in Dallas, and the east coast print deadline was going to be near the end of the game. This would allow them to upload photos taken of the game to the news outlets for publication in the morning papers. I spent quite some time working a couple of them over the next few days to try and reduce the color noise and get a decent print. Blue noise was a real problem because blue response was so low to begin with.

In 2001, Dynamic Imaging was closed. I decided to take a buyout from Kodak as I saw future prospects there bleak. Symptoms from an autoimmune disease also made working full time no longer possible.
I, along with two others founded Zaxys Depth & Motion Imaging, a 3D lenticular design company, hoping to capture Kodak's former customers. Our first week of business 911 happened and ad revenue dried up. My partners left for other opportunites and I ran it until 2010.
