I find it common during a social gathering that the conversation winds around to a topic that motivates me to want to share some of my images or a project that pertains to the topic at hand. I've learned, however, that trying to share my artwork at such moments is not only futile but disruptive. Instead, I find it more productive to wait until the next day and to email a link to the work on my website. I've found that almost everyone will then look at the work — on their schedule, away from the social scene, where they can give it more attention and almost always respond back to me.
