meeting someone I simply *must* get on camera, and in then end, I rarely shoot
videoblogs in public. And when I do, they are all at major events (Halloween,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mardi Gras) where whipping out a camera isn''t given a second
thought. In New York, where pretty much everyone is a little bit wary, I'm more intimidated
about filming. Here in New Orleans, though, the whole vibe is a little bit more "out there"
and people are far more open to talking to you out of the blue. But I'm trying hard NOT to
look like a tourist, so, yet again, my camera spends too much time in my purse.
Turns out I'm awfully shy. I can film myself in all sorts of circumstances, but I can't seem
to make the leap to public vlogging even though it was my original intent for my videoblog
in the first place.
This will change eventually--I'm already a little bit tired of filming myself. I spend a
considerable amount of time alone anyway--I took up videoblogging partly to get myself
out of the house, see new things and look at my world a different way. I wanted to play
"tourist in my own town" (NYC, where I don't feel one bit like a tourist and don't care about
looking like one if I whip out a camera).But one look at my archive tells me that I haven't
changed at all. I've simply *documented* my spending time by myself.
Still learning,
Bekah
ps: the first time I took the camera to the streets that wasn't a calendar holiday was to film
the sad dead Christmas trees that lined the streets of the city at the end of January. The
simple act of my walking up the block filming the trees brrought several building
superintendents tto lean out their windows and shoo me away. They thought I was trying
to catch them in a sanitation violation of some kind. Wary New Yorkers...like I said. Stuff
like that discourages me.
