Viola in Reel Life

"The first thing my parents taught me when I held a camera was to spend the least amount of time on beauty shots, and the most amount time on people. "If you film people," My mom says, "you'll find your story." I slip the camera back into it's case and head back to the dormitory. I'm going to remember to tell my mom that sometimes you need beauty --- and beauty shots. Beauty makes me less alone."

~Viola in Reel Life; Adriana Trigiani
