It's a question that's boggled my mind for some time, and maybe you too.

Through the decades there have been the DP-turned-director shining beacons: Haskell Wexler ("Medium Cool"), Gordon Willis ("Windows"), Barry Sonnenfeld ("Get Shorty" and all the "Men in Black" films), Ernest Dickerson ("Juice," "The Wire," "Treme").
