ugh. i'm so sorry for the lack of posts lately (these past 2 weeks to be specific). i'll be honest with you all, because i always am, i'm beginning to get a bit frantic from not having a job. during the winter you hang out inside most of the time so i was cool being unemployed then - but now that the nice whether is here...i want to be out. doing things.
buying things. traveling a bit. and, well, money is a little bit tight. so i'm doing a bit of job hunting which is not going so well so far. and then i think - i'm talented and smart...i should think of a way i can work for myself. so i've been racking my brain. i've really been into photography (as you all know) and i'm thinking - maybe i can do a bit of that? perhaps some family portraits or couples photos? [i have a 'shoot' this weekend with my bestie and her kids which will let me know if this is something i maybe want to do]. i've found some wonderful blogs that i've been devouring...soaking up a lot of knowledge and information. and i've been teaching myself about natural light, photoshop, and lightroom. i'm learning a lot but understand i have so much to learn - you never really know it all, ya know? i don't know if this is what i'll decide to do for some extra cash but it's something i am enjoying learning about. i promise i'll be back to regular blog posts next week - so thanks for hanging around.
and because a blog post without pictures is...well...unacceptable really - here's a couple photos i've taken over the past few days.
one of my bros (it's a bit overexposed in the whites...hence learning lightroom)
another one of my brothers
i hate feet but i really like this picture. it's of my siblings (all but 1)
i think it's a bit telling...
and of course howard - who needs a bit of a haircut.
have fantastic weekend!

Tell me about being frantic. I have been in London for 9 months without a job for 7 months. And London is not a place to be if you do not have money. I kind of regret leaving LA now. But anyway good luck with everything
You could definitely do something with your photography! Your photos are stunning and its something you enjoy. (Is your brother wearing a cleveland shirt, because that would just rock?) Good luck on the job search!
have a great weekend! and love the pics.
It's definitely tough out there right now. Have you checked out the "gigs" section on Craigslist? Maybe to make a little cash in the interim? Are you networking?
Also, the think about Photoshop et al is that you will never know it ALL as there is always a new version to learn. I've been a designer for almost a decade and I still don't know it ALL. That's why there are so many tutorials out there. Check out PSDTuts online sometime.
I think your photography is great and think it would be worth it to pursue. I'm a true believer in following your dreams and doing what you love! Just do what your doing now. Spend this time "off" learning as much as you can and maybe doing some free work to get your name out there. Good luck!
Love the second shot. I even love the shot of the feet. It has a vintage vibe to it. Good luck with the job search and the search for what's next. It's hard and requires some soul searching and being honest with yourself (true likes, dislikes, etc.) but in the end it will all work out.
You do great work! Nice blog!
Keep your head up lady, something good will come up soon.
It's the perfect time for senior pictures. Hang in there! Love the blog btw!!
I just found your blog, and I LOVE IT! I totally know how you feel about feeling frantic about not having a job and wanting to do what you love, although you may not know what that is yet. I felt exactly that way about a year ago when I quit my PR job. But now I'm off to law school and things are coming together a bit, although not completely. Such is the life of being a twenty-something, trying to find your way, huh? At least we are all in it together! xo
