At a fete filled with photographers, it was somewhat ironic that my photo was taken with an iphone but hey, it's all I had in my purse!
Lately, I've been torturing myself on trying to decide whether I should focus on writing, research or my art practice.... I love and hate them all if you know what I mean. As much as I love the arts, there is also a hefty dose of rejection associated with it... Plus after a few days in the studio, my brain screams for more intellectual pursuits. Doing research at the museum seems to counteract that and yet I am also painfully aware that I do not have the "right" credentials. Plus I cannot sit chained to a computer or scanner all day either. Is there a right answer?

congrats on the feature and hanging with the best. I always like to think writing is a remedy, and after some time with your inner dialogue a solution appears (but not always). I don't think there is an answer and you are so talented in all these areas, but which ever path you take your don't take you'll be great at it.
Blogging is useful like that sometimes. :)
Hope you had a great evening! I love that your photo was taken on your iPhone - I'm also a big advocate of iPhone photography!
As for your dilemma, you are right. The answer is there is no answer, and it's one I share with you. It made me sad to see you write you don't have the "right" credentials for your research work at the museum, well, because I think you do. Good research is a real skill, and all the qualifications and bits of paper in the world can't teach you if you don't have a real hunger for knowledge. And you do! :)
Very exciting news! Congratulations! (And the iPhone photo is great).
I'm sorry for your dilemma. I don't think any industry suffers the love-hate ratio like the arts. I wish I had some words of wisdom to share, but I struggle with similar decisions. I try my best to make every day count and hope the answer will turn up. I'm sure there's a better way. Ha!
All the best to you,
