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!
