I walk like my eyes are cameras. When I go on walks, I am actually filming. A dialogue runs across the bottom of the screen, nearly unreadable. It’s kind of like the sidewalk—where does it start and where does it stop? Speaking of the sidewalk, it’s a great thing to film with your eyes when you are walking. I sometimes try to film with devices, but their eyes are never as good as mine. A good, moving sidewalk is especially hard to translate with cameras, at least the way I see them. I feel good about my unique perspective, but hardly feels like a consolation prize if you can’t show anybody else your eye-film.

People act as though they are in movies, which I am prone to participating in here and there. However, I am usually filming the scene. Someone has to do it! So it’s a good thing that it comes naturally. It starts without my cue and ends without my knowing. Then, because I don’t know yet how to show you, I sit on my floor and tell you about it. ♦
