Television – The craze that overtook the fifth and sixth grade started in the art room, Jeff says.
that's quite a story, thanks ind
My daughter and her friend Jo play basketball together, a couple years ago they were in a tournament and won the first game and the second game was lost in the final second by one point. All of the girls were huddled together in the corner of the gym crying (they were in 7th grade).
I see Jo look up and yell "Stop it dad!"...I look at Jo's dad and he backs away and climbs up the bleachers to the top and continues recording the girls from birdseye view.
Some of the parents were mad at him and couldn't understand why he would want to record such a thing...I admired it.
Not many knew he was an award winning film maker.
Just speculation, but I'll bet that the kids wouldn't have broken up the fight even if those fake "cameras" hadn't been around--schoolyard fights are always popular with kids, though I don't disagree with the point that being behind a camera distances one from the events being filmed.
I have to add that I love "This American Life." For those who don't know about it, it's an excellent hour-long weekly radio documentary show containing personal stories, syndicated on many public radio stations, that's recently begun airing as a television show on Showtime. And to give credit where it's due, that animation was done by a cartoonist by the name of Chris Ware whose work appears in many alternative free weeklies--his obsessively geometric and exacting style is unmistakable.

As a photographer I know how looking through a camera tends to distance you from the reality happening right around you.
