Quick Sew Project: T-shirt Redo
Altered a $4 clearance sale men's BDG tee from Urban Outfitters using vintage ribbon trim from the thrift store. The buttons are from an old jacket. I thought the colors and styling were reminiscent of Marc Jacobs, but maybe its just me.
Ruby's obsession with sunbeams.
So, this is my cat:
And I have one of those wacky cats that is always up to something wacky. Like all cats I suppose.
Anyway, lately the light in our apartment has been really cool. I think its because there is a really big tree outside the front yard that casts amazing shadows. Everything kind of shimmers and dances around on windy days.
LIKE THIS:
Anyway, its funny when I'm working from home during the day and out of the corner of my eye I start to get the sense that Ruby is up to something. Lately she is talking to herself and concentrating on spots of sun. Rory thinks that she is waiting to be beamed up to meet her mother in a spaceship. Naturally.

photos from the black kitten adoption event in jersey city today
Today I took photos for the Companion Animal Trust: Feral Cat Initiative. They seem to have been able to adopt out all five baby black cats they brought to the event so that is a huge success! I'm so proud to have helped with this event. This is a really cool organization.

Jersey City Drawing Club from 10/20
Help us combat black cat syndrome this weekend in Jersey City.
I will be photographing at the Black Cat Adoption event this weekend in Jersey City. Come have your photo taken with a little baby Ruby!
Ruby and I were listening to old records yesterday.
There were only a few good songs, but the few were good enough.

Jersey City Craft Mafia at Fourth Street Arts Fest
On the weekend of October 3rd, the Jersey City Craft Mafia manned a tent in the rain during the JC Village 4th Street Art & Music Festival in Downtown Jersey City. The day was almost completely rained out, but we stubbornly held our ground, hanging plastic sheeting and banding together to fjord the massive puddles in the parking lot. In spite of the rain, there were two stages of music, lots of vendors, and a lot of festival goers that came by in support once the rain let up. It was really terrible as far as sales go, but I made the best of it, and after the sun went down, I packed everything up and came back with friends to catch more music.

Christina Alessi of Sparkletree
And of course, my stuff for sale from Emily August.
This is my lovely roommate, Allison of notenoughspoons.com, who sat with me through the rain and hung out most of the day at my table. Rory also got up early, helped me haul my stuff to the venue, went and got me breakfast, and hung out for a bit as well.
The lovely green tablecloth on our table was embroidered by Johanna's grandmother.
I only had time to take a picture of one band before my batteries died, and I happened to catch Dancing Tony from Rock-it Docket in the act of video-graphing the scene!
Other items of note from the day:

Other items of note from the day:
- Thomas from Made with Love Bakery lent us his tent and helped us set it up.
- I met the lovely and kind and amazing Marc Frydman in person, finally.
- 8-bit music maker Natty Adams was amaaaaaazing. Chip tunes for all.
- I met one of the boys from Thomas Francis Takes His Chances who just moved to JC and seem to be loving it.
- Dancing to Desmond Dekker in the rain.
New Dress Form
My sister Janine brought this awesome birthday gift over for me last week. I guess they've been hanging on to it since my birthday. Now I have two dress form mannequins in two sizes, which makes it easier to photograph smaller sized clothing (In my Etsy shop I try to carry bigger sizes, but sometimes I find things that I just can't pass up!)
I think they look nice together.
The dress form on the left is the new one. It came from a music shoppe that was going out of business. Janine and my niece Hannah also picked out some old sheet music for me, and included a bag of Lindt Lindor Truffles, which are my absolute favorite! (Dark chocolate especially.)

Monotone Records Update
There is a new release and change of address at Monotone Records. This is a web site I help maintain for my friend Kevin. His is the label that put out my super lo-fi 3-inch CD-r, and as you can tell from the web site layout, he is a super lo-fi kind of dude. Check it out by clicking above, and if you want some help figuring a web site of your very own, feel free to shoot me an email!

Thank you David Ziser, Dane Sanders, and Sarah Petty
Thank you David Ziser, Dane Sanders, and Sarah Petty; from a new photographer with a bright outlook for the future.
In 2006 I had this little studio space set up in my parent's basement.
I've definitely progressed since then...
Last night I attended the David Ziser Digital WakeUp Call Seminar in midtown. I learned a lot about lighting, marketing, video, and the wedding photography industry. It got me very excited at the prospect of shooting more weddings, and for finding someone local to work with and learn the business side of things. Photography is one of those things that I think has always been in my life and I'm just now realizing how important it is to me and all of the creative aspects of my personality. Photography ties in my loves: fashion, music, design, nostalgia... you name it and I can capture it with a lens. I can't explain how nice it feels to discover just how much I love taking photos.
This snowball of a process is all due in part to my purchase of a smugmug account, which gave me a discount download of an audio book by Dane Sanders called FastTrack, which led to me tuning in to the recent Sarah Petty Joy of Marketing Telesummit. I feel like I've finally found a few tools to help me share and explore my talents in a way that expresses them perfectly. I'm so excited to see what other classes I can take and who else I can meet in Jersey City that's shooting events and is looking for some assistance from someone like me! Stay tuned to find out.
