Dean Martindale is a proud native of Portland, Oregon. He has a love for things digital, especially if they carry a logo which looks like an apple. Dean’s first interaction with a computer came at the impressionable age of 10 when he tried a drawing program on an Apple IIe in grade school. It was love at first byte. Yet his love for computers was always tempered by his desire to express himself which computers in the 80’s and 90’s were not designed for. Instead those computers were often designed as tools such as a hammer or even something as utilitarian as a fork. Finally, however, the personal computer has become a tool of self expression. From podcasting, to video editing software, to the increased quality of consumer video and audio products it has become easier than ever for anyone to express themselves using the digital tools of a computer. Combined with the web and services such as Youtube and Flickr it is just as easy to publish yourself. These are exciting time for everyone with the possibilities limitless, times Dean is excited to be a part of. When not pondering the possibilities of tomorrow and the capabilities of today Dean is student in the Multimedia program at P.C.C. Recently Dean got bit by another bug: video editing and production. A series of classes introduced to the process of both video production and editing..and he LOVED it. At P.C.C. Dean is the events coordinator for the Multimedia club. Dean has given presentations on both podcasting and cutting edge technologies. In addition he has a more hands on job as an artisan bread baker. When not busy with school and work Dean enjoys rowing and singing in choral groups. Dean can be emailed at pdxdean@mac.com and welcomes people to contact him. Dean is currently working on creating a web gallery for his video works as well as coordinating a lectures series at PCC on the “bleeding” edge of technology.

I met Dean Barron a couple of years ago while transitioning to a new church, Temple Baptist.  We hit it off right away and have worked together on numerous projects since.  His experience and wisdom on all things video have been of tremendous help to me.  Dean does weddings, bar mitzvahs, special events and news.Dean Barron aka “DEANO”:  Cameraman for KOIN T.V. and Independent Videographer/Photographer

From the time I bought my first Kodak Fiesta box camera when I was seven years old, I was hooked on photography. By the time I entered the eighth grade I was a seasoned journalist. In high school, between my sophomore and junior years my interest in still photography exploded with weekly opportunities to shoot, develop and print 5 X 7 photos of each cabin group at the summer camp where I worked. I took every possible Journalism Tech course offered at Mt. Hood Community college, and worked my way through school as an intern at KOIN, until spring term of my second year, when I was hired to replace a full-time news film cameraman. I left KOIN-TV in 1973 to join the photography staff at KMGH in Denver. In 1976 I moved across town to KBTV, now KUSA. I helped Channel 9 make the transition from film to ENG, and became the first full-time ENG photographer at KBTV.After a brief stint with KIRO-TV in Seattle I returned to Denver and took a year off from TV to become the Director of Public Relations for Western Bible College. In February 1978 I decided to return to my roots, here in Portland, and eagerly returned to my “home” station, KOIN. During my years back at KOIN we have covered the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, the crash of a United Airlines DC-8 in East Portland, a dozen major snow and ice storms, major landslides, floods, fires, elections, issues and a host of other stories that have affected the lives of our viewers.   deanbarron@comcast.net
