Recorded

A few days back, when I entered Bhan Syedabad, the local journalist intercepted me before the police could escort me to the station where I would spend the night. Later he would bring me a copy of the interview that one of the channels (as you can see he had a bundle of microphones in his hand) broadcast that night.

This shaky footage reminded me of song: 'Man With The Movie Camera' of the Cinematic Orchestra. Not only because of my own role as recorder (I like the picture I took of you gazing at the screen), but also because of the image that I have in my mind of the chubby camera man sitting at the trunk of the police car. Great piece of music.
