Overcoming inadequacy

Mick Stevens, The New Yorker 2001



Do you ever feel that your blog posts just don't live up to the highest standards of artistic literary discourse? Do you yearn to be the next Conscientious or Muse-ings or 5B4 or any of the other smart, thoughtful, cogent photography/art blogs? Do you lie awake at night desperately trying to compose something that won't bore the pants off Alec or Christian (whom I miss, and find has taken down his blog archives all together so I cannot link) and expose you as the compromised, barely literate half-wit you secretly believe yourself to be? Do you have $15?

Here you go.

You're welcome.

  1. thank you for the link...
    But anyone can read a text book and gather information on how to do something.....
    It is how you apply the information that you have learned. Nobody can say the things that you say...in the manner that YOU do. That dry, smart commentary is uniquely Mel. Which is why we keep coming back for more.
    thanks again,
    Tara

  2. And still they don't get it. My favorite? Information = authority. You gotta love capitalism. Where there is a dollar there is a way--for both participants: buyer and seller.

  3. Leave it to my dear sister to know that this post was written purely for the irony. I truly have to work on my dry sarcasm.
