Delete non-notable biography. Asserts to have invented a technique, and sources a patent, but no evidence that it is discussed by reliable sources. Mayalld (talk) 14:33, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Delete I'm pretty familiar with the film world and I've never heard of the guy. His IMDB credits are slim. He might be big the advertising world but I wouldn't know. No famous ad is mentioned. Apparently he has a web site at http://www.elixirlens.com/ Apparently his claim to notability is that he shoots through liquids. As a fellow artists let me say: yawn. Now he does have some prizes but nothing competitions are a dime a dozen. A reliable source, a newspaper perhaps, that favorably mentions his work would change my mind. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 20:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Keep How about the Oregon Wine Press? http://oregonwinepress.com/index.php?pr=August_07_08 "Elixir Lens, Belefant’s brainchild newly opened in April, creates fine art souvenirs for independent wineries, among others, using an unusual photographic technique: Shooting through wine." Someone earlier said that although he had a patent, there was no evidence that he'd successfully marketed it. He also has another website with some of his commercials and his photographs through liquids. http://www.belefant.com/Home.html. MitchGans (talk) 01:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
