harder than it looks
I've started work on this interview series called The Resource where I interview interesting and influential people in the Athens area. So far I've interviewed Craig Page, the founder of a nonprofit that deals with supporting locally grown foods called P.L.A.C.E. It definitely went well but there are always places you can improve. Tomorrow I'm interviewing Art Rosenbaum, an artist and musician who has been field recording traditional regional music since 1957. I've been researching this evening to come up with questions and came across a New Yorker magazine podcast and article written about him and my interest in this man has tripled since listening to it. I'm slightly intimidated by him for some reason. Maybe it's because he has made a name for himself in the field of documenting like I'd one day like to do. Just a year ago he could of been my professor, but now he is retired and so many people have talked so highly of him that I get a little nervous every time we get on the phone. I end up talking to quickly, not introducing myself, and generally feelings like an ass. Maybe it will be better in person tomorrow. I certainly hope so.
