Two Olds, One New

I've been playing the guitar for almost 40 years. I've been making my living with a movie or video camera for close to 30 years. But today those two old and familiar worlds bumped into each other in a new way for the first time. It's so odd when I think about it that I can't believe it took so long to happen. One of the other guys on my crew went around shooting some video coverage of the event the other night and shot some video of me playing. Today I saw myself playing on video for the first time ever. It was a bit surreal. I got to thinking about the cultures that believe a camera can steal one's soul. A singularly completely new experience out of two so very old ones.
