One of America’s premiere cinematographers died on December 27, 2015, at the age of 93. Wexler long career included a stint at directing, with the impressive 1969 Medium Cool, an intelligent look at the role of media in the truth making process. Wexler worked with many great directors (Kazan, Malick, Jewison, Nichols, Sayles, Ashby, Lynch), including the first film to employ the steadicam (operated by Garret Brown), Bound for Glory.
