Keeping Busy

While seeking out one of these things people call 'full-time jobs,' I've been trying to keep myself occupied, both with productive activities and ones of pure leisure. I think for the past month or so I've done well with the non-business side, having three friends visit NY. What?.... Last month was super busy. I thought a little break was in order....

As of this morning, it was back to business though. I had an appointment at PUBLICIDE, a design and printing company that does some specializing in letterpress. Got to talk with a fantastic gent by the name of Nolan. I'm in the market for some grown-up business cards that say "I'm a hard-working grown up that's serious and does good work, but I've still got a personality." One of the examples that he pulled was from a woman named Margaret Singsen of Scout Designs. Her website can be found at http://www.scout-designs.com/. I fell in love with her business card design immediately. Finally! Some inspiration! So, thanks Margaret Singsen, if you have a google notification that picked this blog up! A picture of the card will hopefully follow soon.

Following my appointment, I went and joined in on a lomography workshop dealing with double exposures. (Even though I'm not looking to be the photographer, I still enjoy learning and doing!) Unfortunately, this was not something I've experimented with at all, although have always been intrigued. Today was that day where I forced myself to be ok with imperfect and spontaneous. I put aside my desire to perfectly frame (except for a few times....) and just shot shot shot. Then, I rewound and shot shot shot again, on someone else's roll of film no less. There was a bit of team work that went on there. My film is currently being developed and I shall see some results after Friday. Until then.... here is one frame that I took on my camera phone after clicking it on the LC-A.

Enjoy!

Already, I'm enjoying this updated editor. New backgrounds and a template designer? Yes, please. Although, it makes me wonder how long I've NOT known this was available. Suddenly, I'm very aware of how not up to speed I am on blogging/ social media-ness.

The new background made me happy. It reminds me of this picture I took in Daytona Beach:

And this more recent snapshot from New York.

Good times. This really could be a new start :)

Could this be a return?

Playing around with the blog after a long time being away. I just got SO ANNOYED by the image uploading. Seeing as how a majority of my postings were to include pictures, pictures, pictures: NOT GOOD to be annoyed by the image uploading methods. But, it seems as though this may be fixed?!......

To be continued...
