A group distraction, presented by nige.
----------
The first instalment of Interview52 is now complete! It started on Friday 18th July 2008 and finished on 13th September 2009. A little later than expected, but we got there.
----------
52 mobloggers from around the world...
Some familiar, some not...
Each will publish a unique self-portrait, accompanied by a short interview.
Candid portrait meets candid interview.
The Rules
Every Friday the next interviewee in line will publish a new portrait and interview, consisting of their answers to the ten questions they have been given.
After they have published, the interviewee will then become the interviewer. They will be responsible for finding the next participant, as well as compiling the questions that this next person in line will answer. Interviewers can change as many or as few questions as they like, but they should change at least one before passing them on to the next lucky punter.
Thats it! Simple. More detailed instructions will be given to each interviewee as and when they are approached, so fear not.

I really liked this one; it drew me in the more I read, and probably the first interview which left me wanting to know more.
I'm lucky enough to have had a more detailed version of your answer to question eight (when we were on the train to London). I'd certainly say it counts as heroic. Love your clear fondness for Kerouac in number ten, too.
Thanks Kyoob.
Thanks Nige. We had quite a chat on that trip. We MUST do it again soon.
this is a lovely response taniwha
I especially like the tie-in with title (untitle?) and ending and really appreciate the candour and humour with which you've answered #5.
It has filled in a few gaps and reminded me of our last face-to-face. We really must have that chat .. especially as you might like the tie-in with some academic work about response to risk that I'm working on with another friend atm. I know.. it's me that has no time right now, but I'm hoping that will soon change.
And
thanks for sharing :)
Interesting, you are one of the mobloggers I knew the least about..
'the community seduced me' - yes it has a way of doing that :)
Loved this interview too, the stories and the attitude to living - nice to learn a bit more about you - thanks
"… like a peeping Tom using an intercom."
Classic!!
Tnx for this Taniwha and really looking forward to meeting you @ Geo's in January.
Loved this - I agree it does seduce you in & it really is a community - in that we all seem to look out for each other. Only spent one very wet London day with you but just remember laughing for most of it! S
Hahaha! Love that photo, love the interview ...... Good to hear you will be at Geo's in January, looking forward to renewing our acquaintance :)
have read over this several times....... thankyou for sharing.....sounds a bit twee, but I mean it. Thanks for the insight ;-)
Thank you all. I do appreciate your comments. And this was a pretty interesting exercise.
And yes, looking forward to seeing all in January (go the events forum if you don't know what's happening).
Dhamaka - yes, lets talk again. It's funny, I just asked a colleague to write some stuff on risk and vulnerability.
I enjoyed so much your answers and your picture!
Interview52 is a wonderful tool that let me know a little bit about very interesting people like you.
Thanks!
Wow, it's funny, I've always wondered "who is taniwha??" Don't take this the wrong way but I had loads of unanswered questions about you and just kept hitting my own preconceptions- man/woman, NZ/UK, what is taniwha short for... &tc; &tc; Am glad to be introduced, as it were. I could never picture you either so it's nice to see a photo too.
I like your assessment of pictures or words and you are right about Kerouac! As for haunted overalls - aren't ghosts just haunted sheets anyway? Sounds rational to me!
I quite agree with jc1000000!And for me that interview is really surprise.. :)
Thanks for choosing me for this Cheso.
JC1000000 and Shitake - thanks. It's funny that on Moblog I can be aware of some people but never seem to find myself in their orbit. For others our timetables can synchronise and I find myself looking in at their photos quite a lot. Sometimes when I discover a 'new member' I'm surprised to find they have been around for yours. It all seems so random.
