Minute Video- Taylor Cairns




#NoRegrets #NoFilter  #SorryNotSorry #MyClosetShouldHaveBeenCleanedBeforeRecording #JonShamWow

But seriously,

For Journalism 203 we had to video record for a minute to show that we were comfortable in front of the camera. And this is what I came up with after a long 3 minutes of thinking.

I still can't decide if I am comfortable in front of the camera or not.
