I videotaped a performance last night and since I was hand holding the camera, I paid much attention to the composition. My focus was keeping everyone in the frame and keeping the camera level and steady. \u00a0Not easy to do when music is playing and my body wants to move with it. \u00a0It was a bit of a yoga to keep my body still but I’d given myself the job to tape the gig. \u00a0Sometimes it’s a hard choice between attending something and throwing myself into the Now, or taking notes or video or photos to enjoy later and to share. \u00a0 I think everyone should have photos and video of themselves in creative action, so I’m always glad to take them for friends. \u00a0So it’s most often after the gig, when I’m home reviewing the videos, that I can enjoy the performance. It’s always been that way with speakers as well. \u00a0Do I sit and just listen and take in their message, or do I take notes and interview for my reader? \u00a0I decided that one several years ago and wrote about it here\u00a0<\/span>Shall I experience this experience or record it to share with others?<\/a>\u00a0 Ah, I should learn to do both!<\/p>\n
