A Nation Of Filmmakers

Each moment is caught within a frame, both in view and in time.  With the rapid ascent of telecommunications' devices complete with video/audio capability, we have become a culture of mise en scene---the society of setting.  But are we, as amateur documentarians, capable of ascertaining the power and importance of the images we collect?  Maybe, we save the moment just to save the moment with no chance of reflection or remorse.

As a nation of filmmakers, we hurry to upload gold to YouTube, only to find that gold is merely a color on the vast palette of the electronic universe.
