A Lovely Short Film About Photographer Bill Starr

By On October 2, 2012 · 10 Comments · In A Big Something, Arts & Culture, Local Genius!, Photography

Half As Common from mimi cave on Vimeo.

We’ve been planning for some time to feature the work of local photographer Bill Starr on the Big Something, but have been daunted, admittedly, by the sheer volume of Starr’s work. We’d just finally screwed up the courage to spend some time with him going through and scanning his work when musician Conor Bourgal of The Changing Colors shared this beautiful video by mimi cave about Bill and his lifelong struggle with rheumatoid arthritis. For anyone that knows him and anyone that doesn’t, it’s a touching portrait and introduction to a local treasure. More to come!

    I’ve known Bill since I was younger woman dancing at The Deluxe Tavern to all our favorite local bands. His generosity of spirit, talented eye and radiant presence always made evenings special. It has been a pleasure to watch his work evolve with the dance community. And aren’t they blessed to have him capture their art through his? Thank you for this, it is truly wonderful!
