collaboration...where, what and who?

Collaboration is tricky, especially for creative people. The project is very
rare that can be successful with multiple focii…thus one focus is required
for most projects and this is where the problems start - who's gaze is going to
be followed. The other artist's have to willingly submit their creative
talents and energies to creating someone elses vision. A good lead will of
course try to broaden and encorporate as much of the other people's vision as
is possible - to give everybody the good feeling of having contributed more
than labor.
