WESTPORT — Russ Fortier spent his career looking at the world through a lens.

The longtime Westporter is now retired from a career as a television cameraman and producer for outlets including ABC in New York in WGBH in Boston.

He might have retired but hasn’t stopped peering at the world through a camera.

“It’s in my genes I guess,” he told the Westport Journal.

Here are some shots Fortier took around town and shared with us.
