Are They Looking at the Camera or Us?, 12 August 2005
7/10
Author: boblipton from New York City

Mitchell and Kenyon made a nice living for a dozen years by being called in to take moving pictures of events around Birmingham and Manchester, which were then exhibited at tent shows.

This is not a pan shot, but a traveling shot -- never mind. The current nomenclature wasn't in use then. We see the palings hiding work sites: the sea's bottom, laid bare by the retreating tide. A child skips along, keeping up with the moving camera and others stop to stare -- all of them with covered heads. After looking at thirty of Mitchell & Kenyon's films, you've looked at tens of thousands of people, and barely a dozen of them are bareheaded -- a man missing a leg walks by. All of them are dead by now.

Who are these people? When they stop to look, are they looking at the camera,? I'm not sure. I see them looking at me, friendly, puzzled, curious, and some definitely disapproving. We need to do better.
