A not so necessary transition to video blogging/ notes from Penang

Concluding Reel from Penang
Reel no 2- the middle reel

Recording reels has been a necessary transition from the sacrament of the written language and the visual text of the photograph, key resources of ethnographic work. These reels are spontaneous field-notes from the sidewalk of life.

I have been resisting the allure of videos which have already attracted attention across my feeds. I will record them when I have something important to share. This one below was my first video blog ever, which was recorded at a drop of a hat.

As a consummate consumer of content myself it was I guess only a matter of time. The I-Phone has a good camera, and records audio even in noisy situations. I have been blogging for 13 years now, so do let me know of this humble attempts.
