Document Summary
As i sat waiting for the presentation to begin, my view was directed towards the side of the room as a young man struggled to assemble a video camera. The legs of the tripod fumbled under the weight of the device, cords tangled themselves in a web surrounding the structure, and the man precariously aimed the recorder towards the podium. But a video camera is more than just a cumbersome device used for filming. Rather, it"s a lens, providing a view usually a different one for our own human eyes. Then i thought, what a fitting metaphor for this seminar"s topic: seeing ourselves through others" eyes. a camera has the ability to capture a moment in a different perspective. A picture not only elicits minute details that our eyes may have failed to notice in the few seconds of a scene"s portrayal, but also provokes the memories that surrounded it.
