“Can you introduce yourself? Tell us who you are?”
The camera was rolling and I quickly set it down on the counter in front of her.
“Can you stop for one moment please? I’m sorry!” She looked straight into the camera and doubled over from shy, anxious laughter.
“Does the camera make you nervous?” I pushed the little red ‘stop’ button.
“Yes!” She covered her smiling face with the Jamu class schedule in her left hand. Now we both busted out laughing.
It’s no wonder she was nervous. She had just met me not ten minutes ago, and here I was putting her on film.
