California Gold: Working with Huell Howser

Luis Fuerte speaks about his experiences as a cameraman working with Huell Howser, first on the KCET series “Videolog” and then for 12 years on “California Gold.” The photos in the presentation are from Luis’ book, “Louie, Take a Look at This: My Time With Huell Howser.”

Louie, look at that! Whoa

I loved Huell, my kids grew up watching him and one daughter and her husband both worked for AAA and got to meet him. I never did and sorry for that. Luis is such a humble man and I do hope to shake his hand some day, there's meaning in doing this and makes a personal connection. Thank you for this, was enjoyed.

Bad sound to hard to understand so I left this show, and I really wanted to hear it better too

Such a handsome man. I Always wondered how Louie looked. I looked at Huell for many years, it was one of my favorite shows. I never had the chance to travel, watching the show I sure enjoyed and learned a lot. Thank you for this video, I sure liked the stories. Luis is also my dad's name 😂 also it's nice to finally see your face, you did a GREAT job as Huell's cameraman.

We never knew what Luis looked like cause the show was ALL about Huell.

Huell had the same beloved following in Nashville, I wonder if Huell ever discussed that with Louis or his California audience.

That's nice to know!

Great stories and I’m sure Huell would be happy that Luis is sharing tales from the production. I had the pleasure of hearing Luis talk early in his book tour at the library in Dana Point California. The audio was very good at that one. It’s a shame that this video has such poor reverb an echo to it, ironic really since Luis has always been a stickler for good quality audio After thousands of hours doing production in the field. You would think in a controlled atmosphere like the interior of the USO building that they could have good quality sound. Oh well, you can expect everything, still some great stories just have to listen to it three times to understand everything. Comments?

Sometimes Howser would say low ceiling or a step here and I believe Fuerte camerawork amazing, wonderful and he walk sideways too get it all. My Howser impression "WoW...Louie"
