Keeping My Finger on the Shutter

I've been working on some major updates. New photography added to the photo section and I'm working on the design portion as I type this out. I just don't have the time to do a major re-design but I'm constantly thinking up new ones.

Since I don't have any shooting classes this quarter I've been finding other ways to keep myself motivated and in a creative flow. This summer I was asked by a film friend, Toby Orzano, to shoot his production stills for his thesis. Check. I also offered to help my good recently graduated comrade, Bryan Williams, shoot his dimensional pieces for his portfolio. Check. Now this weekend I will be shooting a wedding for my roommate's best friend. Check. Wedding photography is, in fact, the bane of my existence. However, I am given free range to shoot whatever I please so it should be fun. Especially since it's an environment with people I know and am comfortable with.

Also, a French Club has just been started up at my school. WOOT!

Geek Chic

It's already the second week of September, but just in case you still wanted a pretty little notebook to tote around or a creative planner that suits your style here's a few of my favorite places to shop for school supplies:

• Russell + Hazel
  I live by this company. I just dropped $90 on supplies from here just a few days ago.
  
• Essentials.
  One of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Northampton.
  
• Kate's Paperie
  They're very much into the eco-friendly, cause it's so trendy right now.
  
• Paper Source
  This place inspired me to one day open up my own stationery store.
  
• See Jane Work
  I don't know much about this place, but they do supply a few of my favorite designers.
  

Wanted

Wanted: Giant Stuffed Panda. Like the kind I used to have as a little girl. It was half the size of the six-year-old me. My mother got rid of him when I developed allergies to dust mites. He needs to occupy my bed at all times, more importantly on the days I am feeling sad and lonely.

Moar Nao Plz?

I am in love with the typographic style and unpolished-but-precise look of Stefan Glerum's illustrations. Unfortunately there just isn't enough to look at yet, hopefully more in the future.
