Being back and a bit stable for a while has left life in a whirlwind. Settling down means so much work to catch up on! (Would you believe some of my summer mail is still in a basket?)
However, events and life continue and I always want to be in the middle of it. So, without giving you a day by day account here is one evening that was especially wonderful.
Michael Czarnecki is a traveling poet and he waltzed right into my life last week. Here is this week's column about Michael and one of my Out and About film clips with Michael as well.
Enjoy. Thanks for being patient with me as stories swirl around me!

is there any way you can add your voice over intro after you film the subject of the out --and about? ( I guess it would be a close instead....) Also, as a critique only too bad the background wasn't an aisle of library books or outside ... he almost looks as if he were in a police interrogation room . I know you do these things on the "fly" but a bit more "staging" (polish) may result in a link/ more exposure of your talents
Dear Anonymous,
You are so right. I wasn't expecting such a magical evening and just brought out my camera. It would have been better to have taken the video in the library or in the kitchen with the boys as they listened. Could you explain the first part? Do you mean that you feel I should talk at the end and not at the beginning? Thanks for your comment. It was well taken.

Well, perhaps I was struck by the background and the look on the man's face as he waited for the intro--perhaps if he had introduced himself and said I am Out and about with Lou Ann at the library then told his poem. That way to me, it would seem more engaging for the subject - The guest is saying Out and about with Lou Ann . I just think that would be neat to hear them say Out and about and then talk about what ever the subject of the video is- in this case, a poet reciting/sharing a poem--- when a guest/person is featured--- the sweet conversation that happened at the end of this video was serendipity -- and you did say Out and about in closing as well as the beginning .
OK...I am listening. Are you a videographer???
No, I was merely exposed to a childhood of home movies filmed by my older bro who scripted alien invasions in the back yard only to have a career as a camera man for a school board in south fl which produced educational programing. I suppose the good the bad and the ugly is obvious to one that watches video filmed and edited by a family member that creates edits and projects. However, I have a hand held HD video camera and filmed street antics in NOLA the red dress heart run (LSU male students in dresses or maybe they were from Tulane anyway what happenstance, that was) spot news/candid street scenes
