The digital video revolution is doing for self-portraits what sliced bread did for … people who didn’t want to slice their own bread!

Top: first time trying out the camera on me playing guitar, using only the built-in mic for sound, just to see what it would sound like. I played at least a dozen songs, whatever came to mind, and a four-minute Shine On You Crazy Diamond sounded best (surprisingly, since it’s not really an acoustic-friendly song), so I preserved the moment on YouTube, flubs and all.
Bottom: I filmed myself putting down the bass part for a new song this morning. Unfortunately, I sounded better than I looked, so I’ll be keeping the track but not the video. The above still is one of the less-incriminating frames, but yes, the truth is out there: I still have a few grams to lose.
