Molly

Just in case I have any readers that are not my facebook friends and didn't see this post, I wanted to share the shots from my most recent studio shoot. My friend Molly modeled wearing the most beautiful J. Crew pencil skirt, and posed with my new toy, a rotary telephone. 


The film I used for this shoot, Kodak Ektar 100, is the same I used when I had a day in the park with Becky, and I would really recommend it to anyone looking for great quality color film.


More studio shots will come soon, since I am having another studio session on Tuesday with Sarah.

Dear Diary

So what's new in your life? Is a question probably none of you are asking, but I am going to answer it anyways!

Last weekend I found myself back in Appleton, Wi with Charlie for a doctors appointment, and it was a painful reminder of how tired I have grown of Madison. If any of you know me personally, you are all too aware of how much I am learning to hate this city. Graduation is in May for me, and I think that I will head North for awhile, to enjoy a city I feel safe in, and rent that won't put me in debt.

I have eight more months to go, and I still browse apartments frequently, because I just don't enjoy living in this one. There's something about it that just never feels clean. I know Charlie is not interested in moving to a new place simply because of the work, I can't stop my wandering housing eye...

Oh! I have dark brown hair now.

My previous, natural hair color was matching my glasses, and that might not be an issue for some, but it was really troubling to me. Also I have recently developed an interest in pink and salmon shades for clothing. And if I am completely and embarrassingly honest this new interest was inspired by my Mad Men addiction, with this particular character and dress.

On the way back to Madison last weekend we made a stop in Beaver Dam to check out their Goodwill store, and it did not disappoint. It had been my personal belief that smaller cities always have the best thrift finds. I found two great items.

A Jadite batter bowl, just like this one was on display, and in near perfect condition. It was so flawless that I was briefly concerned it was a reproduction, but an original FireKing stamp was on the bottom, and a store worker told me about how it came in with other old things that were filthy. I love seafoam greens, so Jadite was so appealing, and the idea of a batter bowl is to wonderful. Plus vintage kitchenware is a personal favorite of mine.

I also picked up a neat old camera.

It is an Agfa Memo, like this one, but with a slightly nicer condition on the body since it was protected by an original leather case. 

I think that's probably enough enough babbling for me. I'll post something more worthwhile in days to come.

What is New

Hey Friends,


What is new with all of you? For me not much, but a few interesting things have been happening. First of all, I took some photos of my sweetest pal Sarah, aside from being cute, I think they really express parts of her personality like the way she manages to have so much child-like enthusiasm and joy without being the slightest bit immature. 

Here are a couple of my favorites. I have more on Flickr, so go check that out!

Also, I didn't do any color editing, her eyes are just that great!

In other news, I have a job now, which is pretty neat. I am now working as the designer for Edgewood's newspaper On The Edge, and it really needs an overhaul design wise, so it should be a fun challenge. I also get to work from home, so with that, and the fact that is is only ten hours a week,it doesn't really feel like a job, which is exactly what I need during this 18 credit semester!

Hmmm, what else? I am now the proud owner of a swimsuit I will hopefully wear at least once in the upcoming year. 

It is very cute, and definitely my style, so I am hoping that just owning it alone with be a reason to go swimming sometime. It's odd, I love swimming but haven't really done any of it in the last two years. 

If any of you like the suit, maybe you can still snag one on sale the way I did. It's the high sun bikini from Anthropologie, and it is currently clearanced to be a fraction of it's original price.

I am in a great mood this afternoon, I am almost fully recovered from what a nightmare yesterday was, I impressed myself this morning by managing to stay asleep through my alarm for three hours, and my weekend began at 2:00. I am looking forward to it greatly. I have very few responsibilities, so I plan on sleeping, cooking some great food, enjoying the cool weather, and making a little art.
