Tales from the Unfunded
I thought about this story the other day of an indie film set I worked on as an unpaid camera assistant in film school, so I went back and harvested it from the ol’ film school blog. I was extremely bitter despite nothing much happening, but it still makes me laugh, so I’m reposting it. This, by the way, is LIGHT YEARS away from almost all the shows I’ve worked on here in...

Been through the Desert in a PT Cruiser with a...
Here’s part three of my epic employment musical chairs. Next, we take a detour.
It certainly wasn’t currently in the budget, but I knew we had to get home and visit my family. It had been six months since I’d seen them and we’d, you know, gotten married since then. It was time. And also, I had a shoot there. So duh, of course we’ll drive for two days on fumes and adrenaline. I did not...

Weird Soda A-Fizz-Cionado
I kind of have a thing for weird soda, so the other day when James and I were in desperate need of a five dollar date we went up to Pasadena and visited Rocket Fizz Soda shop.
Let me assure you, this weird soda aficionado was greatly pleased.
They had quite the selection of Avery’s. I was attracted to the simple packaging of the classic flavors, but they also produce a line of...

The Parable of Google Calendar
When last I left off, I decided to take both a day job and a night job at the same time.
My workplace parking lots. Guess which one is my day job?
And also run a business, by the way, which thanks to a sponsored post on A Practical Wedding and some good word from shooting a (very large) small business event, was starting to look up. I was so excited to have more than one job, I almost puked...
WatchI was out with my in-laws this weekend at the La Brea Tarpits, and spotted the traveling LA Street Piano! If you haven’t heard of the, “Play Me, I’m Yours” project, it’s a serious of pianos put up around cities across the world, free for the playing. Check it out, it was so inspiring to connect with another Angelino one random Sunday afternoon.
Sorry about the...

A Long Story about a lot of Short Gigs
This is a long story. I’ve talked a lot about why I love photography, but I’d love to share some of my path to get to make images for a living. I try and mostly keep this space about what I’m actually working on, and at the moment, there’s not a lot I can discuss in a public forum (but if you want hints, ask real nice). So this story is what I’m sharing instead: my musical job chairs from the...

The Only Blog Chic Craft I’ll Likely Ever Do, The...
So, we live an apartment and are totally comfortable renting right now because a) hello stupid expensive city b) I am so grateful someone else takes care of plumbing issues and property taxes and stuff that homeowners have to do (begrudgingly of course).
I realized a couple weeks ago I do not have nearly enough photos on the wall, and a hallway with lots of blank space. I didn’t want to poke a...

BTW, me on APW! →
Meg and the A Practical Wedding team facilitate awesome discussions about marriage and I am very flattered they ran a post I wrote on Monday! I am slow and am just now blogging it, but I wrote about being young and married, and building something out of nothing.
In other news, I have a girl crush on the whole staff. I’m winking at them across the internet. There. I said it.
In other...

FOUNDING locks (a blog about hair): My 30 Day Hair... →
ericastoyhair:
Recently I was inspired to do a 30 day challenge. I think the idea is really great! I wanted to do something with myself that involved hair and inspiring other people around it. So here it is:
My 30 Day challenge in styling my hair differently everyday and documenting it with a photograph daily….
Photo of the lovely Erica I made yesterday, for her 30 Day Hair challenge....
