Description:
This black-and-white photograph depicts filmmaker Kathleen Collins with cinematographer Ronald Gray during the filming of Losing Ground. Collins is pictured center frame, standing next to a film camera. Wearing a light colored shirt and hoop earrings, she gazes through the eyepiece of a movie camera with her right eye. She grips the camera with her left hand. The camera is on a tripod. A man with a beard, cinematographer Ronald Gray, stands behind her, holding an eaten apple core in both hands at chest height. He wears a short sleeve shirt with a collar, open at the neck, and overalls. The cement pillar of a building in is the background.
A handwritten inscription on the back identifies Gray as the man on the right.
