When Crystal and I packed up the recording equipment for the last time, shook hands with Carol and forged our way out of the general store, brief case in hand, I could not help but feel a tinge of depression creeping in and plaguing my thoughts. My mind was not directed on the future framework Crystal and I would mount Carols words on. I did not think about the web layout and and potential color schemes. Instead, I thought about what feelings were underlying the features of Carols face when we told her this was the last interview. I almost feel cheated by the fact that the interview process is already over. I feel like we have just begun and there is much left that has not been communicated.
I understand that, not having engaged in any of the final steps of this 'overall' project I cannot fairly say I got more out of the interview process than anything else. I will say it anyway. The experience of talking with Carol, interacting with her personally cannot be replaced by anything I try to convey on paper. I know that what lies ahead of me now is, hopefully not an entirely futile, attempt at bringing that experience to the general public. But what can I do but be honest? I am a selfish person. I would rather spend my afternoons with Carol, Crystal and cookies than in front of the computer screen.
This is not to say that I am not excited about the project....understand that I realize my thoughts are scattered, to say the least. I only wish there was more time to spend with Carol, and more time to make the project into something that I can feel more than simply satisfied with.
