Biography

As a young man, Ned began working as a photographer in his hometown of Gouverneur, New York. In 1912, he got his hands on a movie camera and started experimenting with shooting local scenes before gaining work as a cinematographer in the silent movie business; for a time, he was Pauline Frederick's chief cinematographer. He filmed many projects for Famous Players–Lasky, Edison, and Universal—likely many more than the 40 he is officially credited with. [3] Eventually he left cinematography behind to work for Kodak in Hollywood. [5]
