New Notebook

A new notebook for a new project! Details in a few weeks.

Zine Core Radio!

On August 7th I got to talk about zines and other things with the wonderful Hannah Neurotica. I was totally nervous but enjoyed being on the radio very much! I had a lot of fun and got to talk to my pal, Sage of Sweet Candy Distro. Download the hour-long show here: Episode Five.

Painting the Alice in Wonderland, Jr. Set

One of my major projects this summer was painting the set for my work's production of Alice in Wonderland Jr. The set was small and I think it took me about 15 to 20 hours all together to get everything finished and looking pretty.

After the first day of work.

A few days later.

Closer to opening night...

The whole set in action! I think everything looked wonderful. It was my first production set and it was definitely a learning experience! I'm hoping to do it again next year.

I'm Thankful For:

• Finally having the newest JPG Magazine in my hands. I had to go to the nearest bookstore (40 miles away!) to get it. I wonder if my copy was lost in the mail?
• Having decent medical insurance.
• No cavities for me and Mazzy!
• Selling a photo last weekend.
  
• A very nice week.

Good News, Bad News, All News

I've been anxiously awaiting word from SlowExposures and Friday afternoon I received a letter in the mail from the committee. I automatically assumed it was a Congratulations letter since they usually only send a letter if you've got in. Sadly, it was a "Sorry, we haven't chosen any of your entries" letter. I was bummed for a little bit. Oh well, y'know? I'm shrugging it off and going to keep on keeping on. That's all I can do, right?

But in good news, the photo above did get in the Horsin' Around... Exhibit at A Novel Experience in Zebulon, Georgia. The reception for the show is this Saturday and I'm looking forward to rubbing elbows with other photographers. I'm tempted to see the exhibit before Saturday but I'll do my best to stay in town.

This week I'm anxiously awaiting my copy of Issue 17 of JPG Magazine. I'm ready to see my photo in print!

I'm Thankful For:

• Getting extra hours at work.
• New notebooks and t-shirts.
• Insomnia. Well, I did get a lot of things done.
• Feeling inspired.
• Ideas Ideas Ideas.
