PFB # 7: Video 411: My Daughter and Me

Thanks to the generosity of readers and judges, here I am, in Challenge # 7 of this Project Food Blog Contest, organized by Foodbuzz...the "dreaded" video..! Blogging is a solo game...we just need a computer, a camera, a kitchen and our cooking skills..but for a video we need not only someone else, but preferably someone who knows how to film, how to edit...a good camera...so there I said: "That's it..Game over for you, Cristina"

But a voice said: "No way, mum..you are NOT alone here...you have me. I'm gonna help you, and we will succeed!"

Et oui !! I had forgotten that 15 years ago, God send me an angel that I named Camila...

This photo pictures this special moment in her life, her hesitation between "femme fatale" with her leopard foulard, and her "childish" concentration for measuring mathematically and geometrically the place where the straw should be for sipping the last drop of her drink..

In France, it was "la Toussaint": one week and a half of school vacation. Yet my Camilita devoted hours to her mum, to the video of her mum...she was my film director, editor, producer, music director...she even did my French manicure !! But more important, she, with her 15 young years, supported me when I lost faith...when I discouraged at seeing that everybody seemed to have friends who were video editors and had great cameras....

So there I realised that I had already won....independently from passing to Challenge # 8 or not, I had already won the most precious reward and award...Since in our memories, we will always remember the day we made this "super-team" for a dream, for a common project...

And wait until she starts blogging !!! Because this little lady really has talent in the kitchen!!

Here comes our "joint venture"...I hope you enjoy it!!

Music: Originally, my daughter and I had chosen as soundtrack for this video, a song that I love.."Le toi de Moi" by Mrs Carla Bruni Sarkozy...beautiful song, so sweet and sensual, at the same time...Then due to royalty reasons, we had to choose this one, from Royal Free Music...and my video lost part of its original charm !!! I am sure, if Mrs Bruni  had known about this contest, and my French-Italian (also Argentinian) lamb chops, she would have gladly given us permission to include it...Dommage !!! (what a pity!)

If you consider that my work (or rather I should say our work ) merits passing on to Challenge # 8, don't forget to vote for me here, as from Monday 15th. Thanks a lot!!!
