Awkward Camera Work

This is completely off topic, but I couldn't believe what I just noticed on Inside the Actors Studio with Dave Chapelle. James Lipton brings up the subject of Chapelle's sketch with the Blind African American White Supremacist who doesn't know he's black.

And immediately, the cameraman zooms in on an older blind white woman wearing black sunglasses in the audience! Zooms in for a solid 6 seconds on this poor blind woman who's enjoying the show.

And I thought, that's some nice camerawork. That's pure instinct, you can't teach that.
