Abstract

A novel means and apparatus for personal documentary photography and videographyis described. In particular, a personal camera with viewfinder means and a personal video annotation system is introduced. The camera system integrates theprocess of making a personal handwritten diary or the like, with the capture of video, from an optimal point of vantage and camera angle. This gives rise to a new formof personal diary, as well as a new genre of documentary video. Video of a subject such as an official behind a counter may be captured by a customer or patron of an establishment, in such a manner that the official cannot readily determine whether or not video is being captured with the handwritten notes or annotations.
