Someone Once Told Me

I met Mario of Someone Once Told Me a couple months ago to have my photo taken for his website. I had to come up with something that someone had told me that had really stuck in my head. It took me about a month from my first invitation to do the site until I had both time and something to say. In fact, I still wasnt sure what I was going to say when I got there.

As Mario and I talked, I was telling him some funny stories and some things that I had thought about saying. I had sent out and email asking some friends if they could help me, but only 1 person responded. (Gee thanks, friends!) So as I was telling him about the block in my head for coming up with just the right thing, the story of my trying to get into my MA class came up and how I had been struggling with writing something for my essay because I had this conflict about writing something I’m supposed to say versus what it really just my personality and style. My papa then said to me that… (photo response here)

Please post a comment on Mario’s site. He (and I) would love the feedback. Please feel free to pass the link on to your friends too. The site, in general, is a great idea that he came up with when traveling in India a couple of years ago. It has had a huge response by people all over the world who upload their photos and stories to Flickr, email him, or have done the site at his request.

My pic has my neck kinda funny, but there were TONS of shots and I was laughing for most of them because Camden is a crazy town with crazy people who kept walking by and saying things to me as I was posing. I think that it’s quite cute, overall.

Thanks to my papa for the inspiration!!

    I love what Mario is doing. Lending varied perspectives to the conversation is always helpful, and with social tools it’s even easier to connect with good info.

    So perhaps people will make fewer bad decisions because of efforts like these?

    Fingers crossed. :-)
