Smile

Not often do I suggest to people to make assumptions, but in this case, I am 100% in support of assumptions.  Assume you are on camera because most of the time you are on camera.  Do you know anyone nowadays that does not have a camera phone?  I can think only a couple in my circle, and they do not have them only to be contrary.  Today’s technology allows us to photograph or record at a second’s notice.  Push two icons on my phone and the video is rolling.  An article in the morning paper discussed how two rotten thieves were caught within a few days solely because of video cameras at the places they burglarized. 

Does a week pass without some silly video about some bonehead move by a celebrity?  I have little to no sympathy for people that do stupid things in “public” then whine how their privacy was violated.  Well duh!  You were in “public.”  How can that be private?  Be accountable and responsible for you actions and you will have no worries.  Trust me; I loathe the paparazzi, as they are nothing but bottom feeders attempting to instigate an event.  Calling the paparazzi photojournalists is like calling a drug dealer an entrepreneur. 

From security cameras at any establishment to those on the streets of any major city, we are being watched.  That’s just a sign of the times.  I find assuming I am on camera just helps me think for a split second before doing things.  Maybe that’s another reason I smile a lot.
