Mike’s background in photography led him to an early appreciation of Photoshop. He first used versions 2 and 2.5 (before layers) on a Mac Classic with an 8-inch black-and-white monitor. He believes that if you understand the analog version of something like photography, painting, or music, you can truly appreciate the digital versions and their capabilities on a much deeper level. One does not replace the other, but greatly broadens the experience and possibilities.

Mike’s company, Full Moon Productions in Rohnert Park (707-585-7887, or fmp101@pacbell.net) provides full audio and video production, and is now completing a recording studio for projects ranging from voice-over and Foley work to recording full CDs. He is also completing a pilot for a television series on winemakers in Napa Valley that he hopes will be aired soon, and will be available on VHS and DVD.
