My Photostory 1

I watched a lot of my classmates stories tonight and I enjoyed them. I am the only one who did not use my own photos. I have some explanations for that. First of all, I cannot afford a camera right now. But even if I could, I am not comfortable with putting my pictures out. As an actor you might find that weird, but I have only worked on stage, in Theatres where no camera's were allowed. I prefer directing and producing anyway. The spotlight does not appeal to me. It makes me sick actually. I prefer to work from the shadows. Plus I would NEVER put my family out there either. It is just not me. No offense to anyone who did. My family is large, but we are very private. I know this is hard to understand and go ahead and think I am weird; I am. You would just have to of grown up the way I did. We NEVER had anyone at our house, besides family. We were very isolated. Very protective. That has stuck with me. I don't mean to be rude, but my family is my business and so is my private life. I am a very friendly person, but I have a line that I do not cross. If you think that losing points for that scares me, then you have not heard a word I have said. I have my reasons and I respect those who feel differently, I just ask that you appreciate my beliefs and lifestyle. I do not like to draw attention to myself, except through my art. In my story I told a lot about myself and my beliefs. I feel I opened up, which would surprise people I grew up with. I invoked artistic license to tell about myself, without putting me or my family in a place where we are not comfortable and DO NOT want to be. I am a very private person and I will stay that way. There is no other option. I hope you enjoy my piece. GOD BLESS YOU All!- William Coda
