Blog Insider: InCinq

Adria: Author of InCinq

This week we are interviewing one powerhouse female blogger you all know. She is a force in the blogosphere that cannot be denied and her blog is in our opinion the most original community project on the web! Her name is Adria, author of InCinq. Adria has become a good friend of mine over the past few months and has always been supportive of me and my blogs and I definitely support hers. There are a lot of community projects out there but few have the artistic beauty and depth of the InCinq blog. Is it a photo-blog? I have to say it is much more than an ordinary photo-blog. It is hard to come up with a category for it. It encompasses multiple-categories such as art, poetry and real human expression. If you haven't taken part in her project, do yourself a favor and join in. When you do, you'll find it a very rewarding and completely unique experience. Now, the lovely and adorably cute Adria:

WGM: Hi Adria. I know you've told this story before, but not everyone knows it. Tell us how the InCinq project came to be and what it is about.

Adria: This winter, I was admiring the framed cinquain my little sister wrote and decorated for our dad. I marveled at how, in five short lines, she'd managed to capture a literary snapshot of him. I've always loved self portraits, and it occurred to me that it would be cool to pair visual and literary versions. The "cinqpic" was born.

WGM: What does your little sister want to be when she grows up?

Adria:She wants to be an artist, or "work with cheetahs." She's 9. :)

WGM: I know you are in college right now, what are you studying?

Adria: I'm a communication major.

WGM: What will you do when you graduate?

Adria: I'm not sure yet. (I just finished my freshman year.) I have a passion for singing, so that will always be a part of my life. I love working with kids (I'm a counselor at a camp for kids with disabilities). I want to play an active role in making our world a better place.

WGM: I hope we haven't seen all you have to offer to the blogosphere. Any plans for future projects on the web?

Adria: In Cinq is keeping me pretty busy at the moment. If anything new comes up, I'll mention it on my family's website. My page there is: http://www.haemibalgassi.com/adria.html

WGM: Well Adria, thank you for taking the time for our very first WGM interview ever! Any final words?

Adria: I want to thank the In Cinq contributors. I am constantly impressed and humbled by the unique beauty of each cinqpic. I appreciate the readers as well. Many of them have taken the time to reach out to the contributors with supportive comments. The readers' voices add another rich layer to this project.

Thank you, Bobby and John, for inviting me over to your wonderful blog and making me feel at home. :)

Again, thanks to Adria! We wish her much success with her future:) Join us again next week for another WGM blogger profile.
