Bill Zarchy, travel writer, director of photography. During his 30 years as a director of photography — most recently, on the Emmy Award-winning The West Wing Documentary Special — Bill Zarchy has shot film, video, and HDTV in two-dozen countries and three-dozen states. Over the years he has worked with ordinary people and former presidents, found ways to communicate with crews from Kyoto to Kampala to Costa Rica, overcome numbing jetlag to get the job done, and had a lot of fun despite the disorienting reality of working for weeks far from home.
