Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Hal Mohr (left) is the only person to be awarded an Oscar without being nominated first. He won the 1935 Academy Award for Cinematography. He was a hugely respected cinematographer and when he made A Midsummer Nights Dream many members of the Academy thought that Mohr should have been nominated and felt so strongly about it that when it came time to vote (which is done by postal votes) many wrote in Mohr’s name in the cinematography section. More did it than voted for any of the officially nominated cinematographers, and the Oscar went to Mohr. After the Awards were presented a rule change was made to prevent any write-in winners in future.
