I first recorded video in 1977 on 1/2" open-reel tapes
with a Sony Porta-Pak and Vidicon-Tube Camera. 
I used either a slide projector or flashlight for illumination of
my earliest videos.
At the time, I was interested in both video and performance art.
Video allowed for experimentation with "primitive" techniques for recording,
utilizing real-time performance without re-takes.
Examples include "Elk Hound" and "Tabla and Sitar." 

In 1980 I recorded with Betamax, and Color Saticon-Tube Cameras.
In 1982 I began using portable VHS. In 2002 I purchased my first
Mini Dv, camcorder, and from 2005 I record mostly in SD format.
