Sigh of relief: we made it through!!

THANK YOU, ROBERT, ANGELA, JOHN, GEOFF, AND TOBAN at Proper Television (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) for the opportunity! Hope I did y'all proud. :)

Today is Daddy's 77th birthday. Happy Birthday, love you, miss you, Daddy! :)

Poem Artwork


Think calming thoughts, as I stare
into the depths of the lens
right in front of my face.  Don't
look into the camera,
look in the distance, over
here, please.  Yes!  That's much better.
Look over here, this way, that
way, relax.  Can we have that
shot again?  Lighting off -- got
it, that's it!  Perfect.  So tell
me about yourself, what is
stormphobia, how long have
you had it, how do you deal?
Uhhhhhhhhhhh.  *holysmokes, i'm blowin
it*  That's okay, don't be so
nervous.  Again?  From the top...
... Phobia:  irrational
fear of something; my fear is
storms.  I've had it since I -- cut!
Need to speak a bit louder
and s l o w e r.  But not too slow.
Again?  From 'I've had it since....'
*okay*  I've had it since I
was a child, don't know when I
haven't had it........the whole day
went like that, talk, retake, talk,
retake, I'm afraid I was
doing terrible.  They just
wanted to get each scene right.
They said I was doing great.
*oh, i certainly hope so*
Didn't know there was so much ...
TV ... in making TV!
Karen and I made it, though,
on to DAY TWO tomorrow!

Turning your wonderful writing and phtography skills into film making is such a remarkable achievement. Continue working hard with your sister Karen and you will reach greater heights of achievement together. It gives me pleasure when I know that you are having fun.

Thanks to your poetry, John, Geoff, and Tobin, it went well--very well! You looked nervous, but you did great! I wouldn't have wanted the camera thatclose to my face, I garontee! LOL I couldn't have done it; I'd be like, "Back that thing OUTTA my face!!" LOL

The poem conveys what you experienced: your fears, your nervousness, but most of all, your courage in telling your story. I am very proud of you! Very well done; bravissimo!!

Congratulations, Karla and Karen...it had to be quite an experience! What an opportunity! Really, an educational day on how other people make their livings. There's alot that does go on behind the scenes - recording studios and news studios have such artistic and creative human decor, voices, camera people, control board audio, video, slate board -Take 1, Take 2, Take 3, Take Karla and Karen soaring into the clouds with their writing that started it all! Phobia and its positives, girls! Have fun tomorrow traveling to meet your weatherman! Be well, you two...Blessed Be.
