everyone has been really appreciative about the alex video i took. which is funny because i just pointed the camera at the screen. but i guess its more the fact that i was thoughtful enough to take the video that counts. but people really appreciated it. and i'm glad. i also got great feedback from erika when i took some special video of her family for her at tio's party. which made me realize a couple of things.
1. i'm kind of the unofficial video person for the family. which is pretty cool.
2. i love capturing memories for people.
3. being appreciated for doing something i love is such a high. and it makes me more passionate about what i'm doing.
i think i might be leaning more towards documentaries. i love history. and i love capturing moments in time. not only big moments but the little moments that surround those big ones. because people want to remember the big things but they also want to remember what life was like at that time. what was the music like, what slang people were saying, what we all sounded like. little things like that. i appreciate those things. whether its in my childhood videos or on the history channel. you want people who don't remember, or didn't live it, to get a feel for what life was like back then.
and being the "video" person of the family makes me feel so awesome too. i feel like i'm finally contributing something of my own to this awesomely talented family. i've wanted that for so long. :)
