Robert Gardner

The cinematographer for Troika and much of Hobbes' subsequent work was William Haidt, a well-regarded photographer and anthropologist that made documentaries on Native Americans and was the chief filmmaker for the anthropology department of UC Berkeley.

He studied photography under Ansel Adams, worked with the influential avant-garde filmmaker Sidney Peterson in the 40s and 50s, as well as with documentarian Robert Gardner.

He has his photographs in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian.

Traveling the world as a documentarian of indigenous cultures, working under commissions from universities, corporations, PBS, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, and even the Quakers, Huyck and Hobbs remained lifelong friends until Huyck's death in 2012.
