i recently purchased a shotgun microphone to use with my canon rebel t5i. it’s original use was to do some video recording for a reelection campaign event for governor abercrombie. it worked really well for the event and i’m pleased with the purchase, but i’m quickly realizing how rarely i’ll actually need such a mic, unless i create an expressed need for it.

to that end, i’m considering starting a video blog; creating my own channel, or whatever, on youtube. part of me likes the idea, part of me is hesitant.

as such i’m reaching out to invite comments, suggestions. what do you think about it? good idea? bad idea? what kind of topics, issues, etc. would you like to see, if i decide to give it a shot?
