A little bit more confidence please...

I haven't been here so long that I already forgot what was the chronological order of my wrestling with the project that I'm busy with. Anyway, the topic I've chosen for seems to be to hard for me. A fitting room seems to be a perfect base to develop a really good story in the sphere of privacy, but still (even if the wings of my imagination have been spread and tried to be challenged) my courage among absolutely not known people is less than small (using a proffesional camera in a public place arouses interest and suspicion, and makes me definitely self-conscious). Most of the time I hestitated over a choice: "I can/do" or "I'd better not do it..." what led me to the point, where is already a little bit too late to improve my attempts and achieve a better result of the final presentation of my project.
In about a month ago I was ready to use Marry Alpern's clue to create a new way of looking at the subject chosen by me - I was thinking of the places where the video camera might be hidden. After the conversation with Koos I decided to use a bag which is pretty easy to manipulate with a camera inside and in case of any trouble (read: need of escape/quick evacuation from a certain store) could be taken with me very easily. I also made a schedule of my trip through clothes shops in several different towns/cities surrounding Tilburg (Breda-Den Bosch-Oosterhout-Eindhoven-Dordrecht) and except Tilburg of course - I didn't want to be recognizable in my own town as an insane photograph or peeping tom.
So everything was ready to begin with and then my employee decided to fire me. Hmm, life is hard and full of surprises I thought that time... and I gave up my plan of action or I rather changed it (from looking for a new inspiration for my project to looking for a new job...). The comming week I've got my first interview for a PART-TIME job - I have not succeed yet but I'm definitely one step forward, so I can finally focus my attention on schooll and my project. Better late than never ;)
