last week, a guy asked if i was recording just for fun. he was going so fast that any answer other than “yep” would have gone unheard. i could have explained that i might catch the plates of a car that injures one of us, or that i wanted to record the baby geese learning to swim, or that seeing a camera on my helmet might deter someone from being malicious. but, he’ll never know that, cuz he thought it was funny.
