Born in Jones, Oklahoma, on April 17, 1908, Haskell B. Boggs (also known as "Bus" or "Buzz") seemingly grew into young adulthood with predestined success. Not only was 'Bus' Boggs a star player on the local football team but also was noted as "the best track man in the city." While in high school, he built his own camera out of scraps. Shortly after leaving Oklahoma, Boggs attended the University of California for a year but returned to Oklahoma to work with the legendary film pioneer Arthur Ramsey at Ramsey Pictures. Just out of high school Boggs invented the automatic view finder which resulted in a 'minor revolution in moving picture-making which eliminated the need for more than one person to operate a camera.' Today, most cameras are built with the automatic view finder as a standard feature. At 24 years, 'Bus' Boggs was invited to join one of the most "exclusive professional organizations in the country - the American Association of Cinematographers." With his invitation was a contract to become the assistant cameraman at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, California. 1 At the age of 30 JOIN TODAY!
