I'm a little nervous this week. My friend Erik is helping me with an experiment. He will film my class I'm teaching this week. I should be comfortable with this, but I'm not. I can get in front of a class and lecture without much concern. I actually thrive on it. But the moment a camera is around, I get very nervous. I can't explain it.
It makes no sense. I was one of those kids whose parents carried around one of the big camcorders in the 80's. Major portions of my life are forever immortalized on home videos, including some horrific choral concerts and dance routines. My dad has since started converting these to DVD. Thanks Dad!
So I should be comfortable in front of a camera. Yet when we filmed the Military Symposium PSA, I fumbled my way in front of the camera. At one point Kay stopped filming to ask if I knew my lines, which I then recited easily. Once the camera was on though, I once again became nervous.
So of course, I am quite hesitant about actually being filmed this week. Wish me luck!

The camera doesn't exist. It won't be moving much. It's you and your audience. Talk to them. Concentrate on them. If you make a mistake, go on. Laugh.
I think your right that it’s all dads fault. I feel the same way about the camera, too. However, I have to say that now that I'm a mother of 2 that I cherish the all the pictures and videos I take of the girls. It’s a way for parents to remember their kids when they were young. Do you remember Zurina’s baby face or how she was when she was a toddler? Like that one night licking the take-out container of ours! PRICELESS!!
lil sis ;)
What ever happened to the photos of her and the take out? That was hilarious. Thanks for that memory.
I remember us having to sing all those songs in the summer. I'm not sure why kids singing songs for the family is so entertaining, but maybe you do.
I know I enjoy the video clips you send me of the girls. Doesn't mean I want to watch the ones of myself though.
It was like that when I first got into porn also. Just imagine everyone in their underwear.
OMG Adam, you are so terrible! That is such a scary image. I saw your belly flop photo!
