Too Many Options, The Downside to Finding the Perfect Interview-ee

While preparing for this specific blog post I started wondering whether my audience had ever encountered an obstacle like the one I face now. One would never assume that it would be difficult to interview a working artist. Well, that isn't the difficult part. When assigned the task of interviewing a working artist from San Diego, I was elated. With a passion for art and stories, I couldn't wait to start my research.

As you may have gathered from the title of this post, this was, and still is not as easy as I had imagined. With so many working artists in San Diego, each with their own style and forte, how am I supposed to know which one to interview. When confronted with this type of problem, one usually does some more digging. Well I have done my share of digging and I have to tell you, I am even more lost than before. I wish I could test them out, see if they really worked with me and what I was looking for. (Much like one would try on a pair of pants.) But you can not try on an interview-ee. It's almost as impossible as typing while trying to get ready for school... speaking of which, I should probably go before I get mascara on my keyboard.
