so there has been a lot of hub bub over the "you know what of it" blog post that graced this place awhile back. for a few days i felt famous!!
then like a villian!
then i was embarrassed!
then i remembered i liked myself, and what i stand for, and what i said!
it was an emotionally up and down few weeks (well technically, up, down, down, up)
but you know what didn't change from one feeling to another? the why, how and what of the story behind the blog post. people said what they wanted to say about it---and so many of you said such great things (thank you)---and some of you, not so great things (tears)--and i am {forced smile} totallllly okay with all of it, promise. *wink
but in case you want to hear a little bit more about what i was thinking and who i am, i would listen to this podcast with michael howard of musea:

warning--its loooong, and well, its my voice. which can get a lil bit annoying. but its also really super cool that michael invited me to be on his podcast--and while you're over in his territory, be sure to check out his blog, tons of useful and fascinating insights into this whole photography gig. the kind of stuff you haven't thought of before.
then came podcast numero dose. which is also long, and which also features more of my voice! but not quite as much this time. in fact, i might venture to say you hear more from one very intelligent todd reichman on this one, who incidentally wasn't a huge fan of my sick of it blog post, OR me..at first. the podcast is a fascinating discussion on branding, artistic intregrity, and whether or not art can or should sell itself. i walked away scheming on ways i can improve my business, and if you find yourself in a similar position as me with regard to hoping the phone will ring..annnnnytime now....i encourage you to give it a listen.

if you do find the time to tune in, i would love to hear your thoughts--like, mom, is my voice really that shrill in real life?
