figures, was one which took place al¬
most in his own backyard. He was to
photograph Canadian swimming star
Winnie Roach in her attempt to swim
from Catalina Island to the mainland
of California.
Whether Miss Roach succeeded or
failed, Charlie had committments to
supply pictures for the newsreels and
wire services. There was much interest
in the event, because she had recently
completed an English Channel swim.
The Catalina Channel attempt was
postponed several times, because of in¬
clement weather. But finally Miss
Roach tackled it. After several hours
in the water, the waves rose so high
that the swimmer often was out of sight
of See's cameras. Eventually Miss
Roach failed, but See got his pictures
in spite of the fact he was violently
seasick most of the time.
Whether he is in Europe, the Orient
or the Americas, Charlie See always
"overshoots" both movies and stills. Of
course, he may not sell all his material
immediately, but he is patient. He has
a file of 50,000 still pictures and a
vault filled with 100,000 feet of 16mm
color film. Recently he started build¬
ing a stock shot library of 35mm East¬
man color film. Sales from his vast
collection have paid big dividends.
Because of his multiple activities,
See travels loaded with equipment. In
addition to numerous still cameras, he
carries two Bell & Howell 16mm
Filmos and a 35mm Eyemo. Films for
these cameras fill another weighty pack.
Before turning to photography,
Charlie See led a varied career. Prior
to coming to the United States
from his native Singapore, he was an
advertising man and later an amuse¬
ment park manager. In the United
States he tourned for six years as a
professional dancer. Ultimately he
landed in Hollywood and decided to
become a photographer. After several
years he accomplished his purpose with
no formal training in the subject.
See expresses his formula for suc¬
cess in this way: "You have got to ex¬
plore all phases of your field and be
undaunted in your efforts, if you want
to make money as a free-lance photog¬
rapher."
Undaunted, See hopes next to make
a trip to Russia to display his still pic¬
tures and show his 16mm color film,
Hollywood Without Makeup. Even if
he does not talk the Russian govern¬
ment into an assignment, he undoubt¬
edly will come back with enough new
pictures to make the trip worthwhile. ■
