Party in Bushwick

Posted by mikedotephoto on June 8, 2008

One of the things about summers in Brooklyn, is that there’s always a rooftop party somewhere.
I decided not to crop this one.

As I reflect on my life as a photographer, it makes me wonder- will I always be the one to chronicle events? In chronicling them, does it keep me from experiencing them?

I often find that I hide behind my camera at parties, even when I’m there for fun and not as a job.
I go into ‘photographer mode’, where I’m more interested in capturing moments than experiencing them.

I am camera shy. Not in the conventional sense- I don’t mind having my picture taken, although it rarely comes out well. My camera shyness is something else- I am shy when I have my camera. I think it is because I channel my vision through a lens that I forget that there is a world that lies through it.
