I has a gallery show this summer.

Well, thanks, it's just this...

I was always just focused on doing the bento boxes. That, to me, was the art. Then I took a pic of it with my crappy sony cybershot to preserve it for posterity. The photos went on my flickr account and people started finding them there. And now everyone's focused on the photos, not the bentos, or at least it seems that way.

And I am a shitty photographer. The lighting is generally bad, it's often a bit fuzzy, and so on. I don't want people focusing on the quality of the photos because frankly I don't feel the quality is there.

I think it's cool that people like the bentos, it's sort of different, and this town is a very openminded, artsy town that will probably accept something new eagerly.

But I am very nervous about my photos being on display.

They asked me who I'd hired to do my photos and it was like, "Srsly?"

I don't know. Fairly confident in the art, not at all confident in the photos. But thanks for the words of praise.
