I am like most people, I find it hard to watch myself on video. I used to turn away from photos of myself also but, as a photographer, I soon got over that. It is just videos now, including home videos, that make me want to hide my eyes. I think it is due to the fact that you have this imaginary version of how you look when you do and say things. You want to imagine you look composed, cool, "normal" if you know what I mean. So when you are confronted by how you really look, it presents too much of a challenge to your reality that you instinctually try to reject it.
"Seriously? I don't look like that! Please tell me the lens is warped, or something. Anything!"
So, with some trepidation, I took my girls (that is my wife and daughter) to see a special trailer screening of The Silent City, the movie in which I play a rather nasty little Irishman.
