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.

Great answers - even if you did duck a couple of questions ; )
I'm going to go find that Banks novel now, must be pretty special
ducked??
Which ones, i will make with the edit! :)
The Banks novel is a huge Space Opera, if that's your bag - i think you'll enjoy it.
Suprised at your answer to number 8. I always thought you preferred studio work.
Good choice of film. I love almost everything by Almodovar. If you like his work, it's worth checking out Bigas Luna too. I think you'll like him.
Glad you got this weeks interview. Haven't really seen you around these parts too often since you got the house!
Thanks for this Kyoob. My answer to 6 would almost be identical to yours. Like the idea of making it a kind of Moblog tour.
Nige: I do really enjoy studio work, but it's challenging trying to create something interesting or recreate an image you had in your head. Street photography just has many more dimensions, rain is very hard to do in a studio ;) I'll check out Bigas Luna cheers and yes house is swallowing all my spare time at the moment, i'll try to be about more.
Taniwha: Yeah, most of our friends are spread over the country, so it usually ends up being a visit with an overnight stay, which is fun.
I like the fact that the interviews always send people off to check out ideas, books, films, music etc. I'm off first of all to look at your image wall!
what a great interview - and I love that image too!
I agree wholeheartedly with your response to 9. It's something that has worried me for years. Love the Algebraeist (anyone want to listen to the unabridged talking book let me know) but having read science fiction since I was around 11 can't imagine what it might have felt to have come to it when also new to the genre.
Love your answer to 6 too. Had I the time I'd try riding to UK mobloggers - if they'd have me - and I'm kind of hoping to do little moblogger rides when the weather improves. I like Almodovar too, but the one of his films that made the biggest impression was todo sobre mi madre/all about my mother
Good luck with the resolutions!
Rich: I toyed with vertices but the pluralism and 3 sylables didn't scan for me :)
Thanks Dhamaka, the image was taken at 3:58am this morning, i have a throat infection which prevents me sleeping or even being horizontal, was nice to have the time to experiment with the bare room and stark stepladders.
Can you let me listen to the talking book version, would be great to have on in the background - you know where to contact me.
And you're forever welcome for a cuppa and accomodation if you're riding up this way :)
In a word excellent. But then I would think that wouldn't I? interesting seeing some of your responses from an outside view as it were. Well done Mr Kyoob.
Really enjoyed reading this, and as ever, every time I read one of these interviews I find myself wanting to meet the interviewee in person, so if you are ever in London please let me know .....
and hey, 4 years on Moblog !
Nice one Kyoob, Yes, I had you down as a studio bloke too.
Now I know you're in (near) Warrington we'll have to hook up.
I have a "favourite" overnight parking place on the north side of Warrington, near the M62/A49, off the roundabout there, behind that scabby bowling alley.
Joker: Definitely - that parking spot of yours is right by the studio I normally use. I can hear the bowling alley when I'm shooting.
Ever been in there?
I couldn't stop myself laughing at some of the punters there, nearly got myself into trouble!
Yeah, there's a brilliant spectrum of pond life in there, give me a shout next time we can have a giggle at them together :)
enjoyed reading this, and good luck with the new years resolutions!
