October Temple.

Homemade Studio Lighting.

It's been a while. I'm currently volunteering at an art museum and they've asked me to assist in archiving their permanent collection. I've never done anything like it, but am thrilled with the opportunity.

I have no idea how things will be set up down at the museum when it gets time to photograph, but I decided to read up a bit and figure out what I've gotten myself into.

So far, I've managed to jerry-rig our spare bedroom into a "studio."

I'm actually pretty proud of myself. Maybe one day I'll move on from trash cans and bedside lamps.

Dreamy.

Engagements: Tara and Chris.

I'm so excited for these two!! They are good friends of mine and they are perfect for each other. I can't wait for the wedding this summer.

Frameless.

Photos and prints. Matted and not matted. Not quite sure how to hang them all yet, but when I do I'll be sure to document it. 

(Also that photo at the bottom right, long exposure, was taken by my photo professor so I can't take the credit.)

Don't Turn On the Fan.

These have been sitting in a plastic bag in a storage box or in the back of my wallet for a while. I didn't realize how many I had until I tried to fit them all on our kitchen table.

Still feels like I never go to the movies.

I Take Photos And Want To Get Paid For It.

I opened up an Etsy shop today. Only a couple photos in there, but hopefully it'll do well and I can load it up with more. Check it out.

Like I said just two so far. If it takes off, and I make a profit, I'd love to get my negatives scanned in so I can work with those photos as well and get them out where people can see them. I have over 200 35mm frames and I'm dying to work on them.

I tried scanning them in at home with some silly homemade light reflector. In the time it took me to make the darned thing then see an image that looked like I smashed bugs on my scanner, I could have taken those negatives to someone who actually knew what they were doing.
