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. |
