PANNING FOR PRETTY WOMEN
May
Have you ever seen a female “cameraman”? No doubt they exist. I’ve never spotted one, however. You can tell most all are men, by observing them in action, I doubt they’ve been instructed to focus upon good looking women as they pan crowds; but that’s what they seem always to do. Who can deny that a disproportionate amount of attention is paid to pretty girls during crowd shots.
That attractive women enjoy advantages and receive special attention in our society (and probably most others as well) is hardly news. Still, the guys make it all too obvious, especially when they just happen to tighten the shot and linger longer on them.
The camera has not been invited in. Privacy has been set aside. But then most people so selected would not object.
“Fame” is fleeting; best to cherish the moment should it arrive.
