My neighborhood is sort of stuffy. It really stressed me out to be walking around with headphones and a camera. People are very protective of their gated communities, and they're not afraid to stare you down if you're in their neighborhood. It took me a while to finally get over my apprehension and to really settle into the experience.
My neighborhood was also very quiet on the day I went out to capture audio. I really had to strain to keep quiet enough, so as not to obscure the natural sounds. I never knew how loudly my nose could whistle. The few sounds that I did capture were somewhat serendipitous, and I welcomed them readily.
