This next month I’ll be signing a lease with three other artists, a sculptor, a poet, and a worker of textiles and glass.  I’m so excited to be part of a living group.  There will be a huge space, a gorgeous, comfortable meeting area, large work table and light light light, all right downtown Ann Arbor.  It’s going to take a bit to have it ready for use, the decorating will be some of the most fun! But I couldn’t help share the news here at the beginning.

Not sure we’ll get to keep the Piano :)  I’ll keep things updated here as we go :)

I can’t believe how big he is and how fast we’ve gotten here.

Now I will tell you a secret about photographers.  We are nice, I’m not saying we’re not, but lets just say the first few photographer dates I went on left me feeling like I was at a 2o questions marketing seminar.  Photographers can be like boring broken records going on and on about album company’s and leaving out the important bits (well important to me) like passion and growth and the love of the craft.  While it IS nice to discuss with colleagues bookings, what vendors you use and your studio costs, what I LIKE to talk about is motivation, inspiration and art.  Abby shares the same passion for the art and talk about it we did, I think we spent much more time talking about art and inspiration than shooting, which was perfectly lovely.  We even swapped cameras for a bit, she’s a canon girl and I shoot Nikon total fun.

Here are a few captures of her I got, some with her camera! and I threw a few in she stole of me :)  I’m looking forward to hanging again soon.

and me

joking about

and a bit too serious lol(note to clients, I totally wear glasses ALL the time, except in photographs! so imagine glasses and when we meet the first time you’ll recognize me easier :)  )
