Monthly Archives: August 2011 “Do you like to do it, yourself?” Saving wedding inspiration from the web, I was starting to feel like Goldmember with all of my glittery, sparkly, pretty, metallic details. What can I say? I looooveeee goooooooooooooold. I spotted these elegant and organic table numbers on Jasmine Star’s blog and could never manage to get them...

Hahaha – Love the goldmember reference! Great idea for the table numbers – I am tempted to do this to big wooden candlesticks for my house :) Thanks for the inspiration!

I feel like this would be excellent for DIY Christmas ornaments and am already planning a trip to Michael’s for the holiday weekend. (also, what? Christmas planning already?!)  If you know me, you know I’m impatient as ever. I think to think of it as ambitious. Or not much on waiting. If I get an idea, I want to start it. Like, NOW! I enjoy moments of instant gratification, like, say, one hour developing. ”One Hour Developing” may be a concept foreign to... 6 comments

I feel you. I got some film scanned at my local shop, which is allegedly professional, and it came back with huge scraping lines through ALL of the negatives. Richard it is.

Hate when that happens! At least it wasn’t a paying job… I had that happen, but it was a camera problem…. lost 16 rolls of film – BLANK!! My throat landed in my stomach! Oh the days before Digital … still like film… and your right you need to stick with a trusted lab … oh the quality of patience.

That just makes my stomach hurt and my blood boil. What gets under my skin the deepest is the staff’s apathy. They ruined the photos and then just shrugged? That’s just crap!

Ooooooooooooh, I love them! Wish I could see the other 17, too. x

i love them! I’ve never used target but never had a good feeling about them anyways. hopefully you’ll be able to take some more! i know how it feels to be impatient! i use 1 hour all the time!  When I first started photography, walking around my apartment complex with camera in hand, never did I think a tip from my mail lady would turn into a few year span of freelance gigs. Starting off as a photography intern for my favorite arts and entertainment paper Creative Loafing, I was nervous as heck,... 4 comments

Very nice, and definitely good things to pull from your experience. Did you watch the Penny de los Santos Food Photography workshop on creativeLIVE? I thought it was fantastic…

Jeez Ash! Thanks a lot, now I’m drooling all over myself!

That sounds like the best job ever. It’s great to have great teachers, learn and be grateful. So glad to hear you did all of the above.  -Water for Elephants When you turn a passion into a career, it’s easy to get caught up in the business logistics of it. Images that were once shot for fun at the spur of the moment are now composed with purpose, thought about maticulously, and often reflected on with “does this represent my brand?”... 9 comments
