Midnight Madness

It's been so long since I last posted that I'm actually a bit nervous. I almost feel like I'm about to take a test.

That being said, I woke up in the middle of the night to an email from my brother in law which included a link to an SLR camera on sale. He's a photographer and has been more than happy and willing to send the occasional product link my way. Thanks, Mark!

Long story short, I purchased the camera along with a tripod and it wasn't long before I got sucked into the world and website known as photojojo.com. Truth be told, I know very little about photography but this website makes me wish I knew more. I'm a gadget-lover by nature (especially of the infomercial variety) and this site is full of awesome lenses, filters and lots of other items that I know nothing about. Still, it holds my attention and in the end I bought a pretty sweet camera bag that I can't wait to use!

Taking quality product photos is near the top of my very long to-do list so I'm excited to photograph all of the new and not so new cards and products we've been turning out at the studio. Stay tuned and good morning, early birds.

as much as i'd like to make this blog full of pictures and inspiration, it's not. why? probably because i think i'm too busy to grab the camera, take a picture, take a good picture, upload it, adjust it, resize it and post it. kudos to those who do because i love looking at your blogs. keep up the good work. 

my day to day life at the studio changes but music is a constant. maybe after the stationery show i'll post some more letterpress related pics and blurbs, but for now i've decided to share what i listen to in order to keep myself sane, motivated, pleasant, and sometimes awake. feel free to sing along if you know the words.

do you have a card?

now that the stationery show is less than 6 weeks away, it's time to create some business cards. here are a few examples of what i WON'T be doing. enjoy.

loving this song right now

if you could be doing anything else other than printing, what would it be?

hmmm...i've asked myself that question on more than one occasion when the biz has been in at its lowest, but i don't think i've ever decided an answer that i could stand by. i think i'm a maker at heart so it would have to involve my hands.

i also have a personality that makes me think i could do anything i wanted. that's probably why i have about another dozen business ideas in my head at all times. hmmm...maybe my profession could just be "entrepreneur";) thanks for asking!

Ask me anything

proceed and be bold!

if you love stories about people who love letterpress, then you'll most likely love this movie. i just ordered my copy today.
