Photo by Charles Levi. I structured the image to speak about Nick, rather than giving him space to reveal himself. He's by a moviola, reading Zap Comix, eye-patch and magnifying-glass to the fore, and one of his beloved Disques Bleus in his mouth. He felt that the beat of the moviola engine was an important determinant in the cutting rhythm of Hollywood films, whilst, when he first went to Hollywood, he used to hang out with film editors discussing the visuals of forties comic strips.
