Behind or In Front of the Camera

[wlotus]

Writers' Block asks if we prefer being behind the camera or in front of it. I prefer being behind it...unless I am operating the camera. It's because I don't trust how people view me through the lens. But when I am operating the camera, I have complete control over how I look in the final draft...and no one ever need see the outtakes, if I don't want that.

That's a surface commentary on how little trust I have in how society at large portrays me and how much I resent their justifications for the less-than-flattering presentations. But those thoughts are too deep to put here.

I agree. I prefer to be behind the camera too.
