    The 
    Digital Storytelling Festival 
    October 13 - 17, 1995, Crested Butte, CO 
    
    
    A narrative by Pedro Meyer

         Photography 
          is story telling through visual means. I use the camera to tell stories. 
          I now use the computer to make the camera tell ever more interesting 
          ideas, while the internet allows for this marriage - between the computer 
          and the camera - to deliver such stories all over the world. I arrived 
          at Crested Butte,Colorado at night. The sky was heavy with darkness 
          in between the thunder bolts which reminded me of a flash coming from 
          a gigantic camera in space. The Universe was taking pictures of itself 
          at night. I have done that sometimes myself, but never during a rain 
          storm. I think I will try that someday. 
  
            
  At 9000 
          feet of elevation, I feel that my body doesn't want to be with me during 
          this story telling festival that I've been invited to attend. My heart 
          beats as if the police were chasing after me. I have a constant headache. 
          I can hardly see under the intense light of the bright morning sun. 
          I bring my body back to the hotel so it can rest, while I take my shadow 
          out for a walk.  ![]()  |
