a bit confused...

so i havent made much progress on my profile of magdalena. I made initial contact and we are going to meet up some time next week, but I think that my lack of progress may have to do with my apprehension about her as a subject. I'm just not sure since the objective is to profile someone who does not have a real desire to put themselves out there, which clearly she does.

I tried to follow up with this gentleman named William White, who I met at a soup kitchen last year. He was playing an old piano outside of the main dining hall and he was really great. Some other students and I were going to meet up with him to record a CD of his music and sell it with the proceeds going to him. I think he would have been an amazing subject, but unfortunately, I called the number of his son named Phillip that he provided and it was out of service...maybe revisiting the soup kitchen might be a good strategy to find a subject that I really can get behind.

Spring break looms, time to get really serious about this.
