Robin
Williams was a force to be reckoned with on and off the set. A consummate
performer and gentle-man, he could
sense tension and find ways to help people blow it off whether through one of
his outrageous practical jokes or, as on The
Fisher King, by letting the crazy person out and making everyone laugh or
cry until they forgot what was bothering them. “When the going got rough, Robin
would often plant his feet and jam, pulling things out of his soul to make us laugh
at ourselves,” Bridges says.
Bridges
was recognized for his skill as a photographer through a Special Presentation
at the International Center for Photography’s 29th Infinity Awards.
His stark, black & white images capture candid moments from the sets of his
films in unique, funny and moving ways. Bridges is proud to contribute to City
Hearts’ 4th Annual Fresh Focus Photo Auction. “I support the great art programs
of City Hearts,” he says. “I believe they are enriching children’s lives for
the better.”

Fresh Focus: A New Shot at Life, City
Hearts’ Photography program, encourages students to shoot with cameras – not
guns. “We teach our students to evaluate their lives and community with a
critical eye so that they may, in turn, educate others about their world and
tell their ‘story behind the shot’,” Jason explains.
