Random photos, random things
The last of this roll of Mamiya shots. I love this camera so much, I am going to go broke shooting all this 220 film. But it’s worth it.
I wanted to say a few things. First off, thank you all for the wonderful comments and congratulations on our engagement. You made me tear up and once again, reaffirmed my belief that the internet does more good than bad. I love you guys so much. This won’t become a wedding blog because we have no immediate plans to set a date and are sort of expecting this to be a bit of a long engagement. Plus that’s just not my thing, especially on this blog lately. In fact, I’m taking the summer off from Weekly Goods and Friday Bits, and also from sidebar ads. I need to distance myself from submissions and PR emails and all that stuff for a few months while I focus on getting my business and brand in order.
The other thing I have to tell you is that we’re moving, again. I know! We are crazy. Most of you who follow me on Instagram and Twitter know this, but Will and I rented a workspace that’s separate from our apartment. No more working from home! It’s amazing and we move in soon, but this means that our apartment is too big and expensive, so we found a place that’s a bit smaller and less rent, plus is closer to the studio. I’m ecstatic and nervous, and also sad to leave our great apartment to move a bit more South than is ideal to me. But you can’t have an amazing apartment and studio in your favorite neighborhood all at once, so I’m fine with that. Plus we all know how much I love change and furniture rearranging…
Such adult changes right now. I say that as I stick a fist into a jar of caramel popcorn, sitting at my desk cross legged. Some things will never change.

HA! I’m sitting at my desk cross legged eating ice poles like a CHILD! I’m well excited for you with all the changes. I’ve had serious need to move/change recently so I shall live vicariously through your blog for a while perhaps? Good luck with all the moving!

I love your Mamiya work, especially on Portra. I’m just in awe of those warm tones.
220 film is so expensive! Do you scan it yourself or get it scanned by the lab?
Congratulations on moving! Hope you get some good light there too!

hooray! congrats on the new workspace! and in your favourite hood, too…awesome. :)
i love these shots! the last two have stolen my heart – i’m a bit of a flower nut (hello, pretty much every gal on the internet) and that car is just so full of personality!
also, totally jealous you’ve got caramel corn. mmmm. i might have to go get some myself…

Actually I was saying it’s not in my favorite hood, but that you can’t have it all so I’m fine with that! I’m hoping it ends up being ok though!
