Is There More Than Corn In Indiana?

I am not so sure. It seems like the more we "Hoosiers" try to improve the artistic and creative community here it seems to get lost. Why is this? I think the reason is that we create sub-categories and in turn separate ourselves even more. This is even more prevalent in the fashion community in which i am a part of. We all have our clicks. I have a click. I don't think they are bad if we are cordial and step out of our circles to play with each other for a day or two. But that is when things get a little hairy.

I give kudos for great work. No matter what it is or who is involved. If I look at a photo and it is sick, i have to say,"shit! that is cool. Why didn't I think of that." After which I will leave a comment, give stars, or whatever the case may be, I will leave some type of praise. Then, I will contact the person/persons involved and ask to do a project with them. I will usually get the response "oh, I use so and so." Well, okay. But why not collaborate with like-minded people even if they are not your regulars? I don't know. Maybe it is just me, but I love to work with new people. It gives me a chance to learn, experience a new perspective etc.
