I hate blogger-go wordpress!
Well, two new ideas. Hmm, I think going on the environmental theme that I was hitting on last time I would think that doing a documentary on how all the development around the cape fear region. It would not only service the local development but the southeast in broader terms because unfortunately Wilmington isn't the only place with a huge influx of people and development. My second new idea would be the haunted/historic downtown. There would be a great opportunity to explore the supernatural but in the historical context of downtown. There's alot of breathing room in that one. Unfortunately since spirits don't like to have their picture taken too often that one might prove a little difficult but you could get interviews with people that have experienced them or mediums/psychics that could help open up the subject a bit more than a camera and some crazy looking old guy talking about how the ghosts used to hide things on him. I'm tending to go towards the environmental right now. Only because I've always been a very outdoors oriented and it wasn't until I moved down here that I really started to care about the subject passionately because there's so much destruction for high priced condo's and strip malls. More materialistic shit we don't need. Not that material things are bad, but I mean come on you don't need a million dollar home that's not over 4,000 sq ft. People and their stupid possessions. Fortunately you can't own the land, you can only change it and pass it on, but you never own it. It owns us. We live off it and we return to it when we die. Not much owning going on there. Anyway topics I'd like to know more about are the cultural differences in Wilmington. Between the African American, the influx of Latinos and the old money whites I think the contrast between the three would be very interesting because you not only have the race dimension but you have the economic dimension all which make up for a very good story if told right.
