Everyone has had one of those moments when they say, “No one is ever going to believe this.” Well I had one of those moments the other day, but people did believe me because I had proof.
I was walking down Fifth Ave the other day minding my own business heading to the subway when I noticed my friend’s boyfriend walking into the apple store with a girl. I assumed it was my friend, and because I hadn’t seen her in a few days I thought I would follow them and say hi. I walk down the stairs and follow the couple with my eyes. It was like something out of a movie. They were hugging in slow motion and as he spun her around I saw her face. Needless to say it wasn’t my friend he was spinning. I stood there stunned for a few seconds then the busy, angry crowd pushing me down the stairs snapped me out of it. I didn’t want him to see me as I tried to figure out what to do. Well I first decided to call my friend. After telling her what I was seeing she refused to believe me. So I did what every tech savvy person would do and told her to go to my Ustream channel and wait. She was a little confused but did what I said. I logged into my Ustream app on my phone and started shooting. With grandiose images of me and my Peabody award in hand, I walked over to him and the girl he was hugging tapped him on the shoulder and held the camera up. He turned around and I said, “Say hi to your girlfriend.” as soon as I said that his phone rang and I walked away happy.
I love that life brings moments that you just need to tell people about. With the Ustream app you don’t need a computer to broadcast. All you need is your phone and something interesting to shoot. Once you've launched the app it automatically takes you to video and you begin to shoot. So it's fast if there is something you need to get out there. You can also tweet as your broadcasting. On the app you have the option to save the recording so you can archive it on your site or just shoot live. It really is great and something I think everyone needs if you live in New York City. Trust me there is always something interesting to shoot and people love to be little voyeurs.
