The Shortlist September 11, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Christmas, Church, Daily Life, Family, New York, Photography, Projects , trackbackWe have many adventures to share and many pictures to post. (I know some of you are thinking, “How is that possible? MORE Pictures?” Well, it’s true.)
I have been anxiously engaged with school, being a mom, wife, dog lover, chef, and maid. On top of all this, I am working on my website.
In just a few short days (or longer, who knows . . . I’m waiting on my logo) I will launch my photography website and business.
I will be offering my skills to photograph families. I will have prints for purchase.
The fun part of putting my site together is complete (the good stuff like picture galleries) but I’m still working out some details which means: The very, very, boring, nitty gritty needs to be done.
This is the short list:
- The LDS Bookstore in town here expressed interest in selling some of my images as prints in their store. Go ahead and re-read that sentence, digest that, and then if you have to ask me if I’m excited, you should probably get to know me better.
- I’ve been busy looking for the right printing company to print these images as postcards and larger format prints for the right price and resolution. Maybe when you visit this quaint little town, you’ll end up buying one of my prints? PLEASE DO!
- This weekend, we are going to Niagara Falls. Again, ask me if I’m excited!
- Hannah and David have a date tomorrow morning. They are going to the Lowe’s Build and Grow Workshop.
- We love this area. I might even be able to deal with the harsh winters if we lived here. I’m just sayin’.
- Christmas arrived for our family yesterday when we got a huge box of clothes for David and Dallin from David’s brother. Thank you for hand-me-downs that fit.
- This weekend is the Lumber Jack Festival and next weekend is Canal Town Days. We live in the middle of it all. We’ll be attending all the festivities with bells on.
I have no pictures for this post.
Gasp.
I. KNOW.
But, I’m happy to share a couple of unrelated random images with you:
This very public bathroom is in the vacant Masonic Temple upstairs in our building. I’m sure it had walls around it once. I mean, I hope it did. I wake up from nightmares like this . . . needing to use the bathroom and every bathroom I find is very public toilet.
Trust me, it’s a nightmare.
And this:
This alley is adjacent to a small patch of grass where I take Paris to the bathroom. During daylight hours, this alley is friendly. After the sun goes down, it’s a completely different story. I try to avoid this spot and use another patch of grass in the parking lot, but sometimes I forget.
It freaks me out.
I’m not into Sci-Fi, and I certainly hated watching the X-Files, and this alley looks like something straight out of that show.
Go ahead and shiver. I just did.
Have an exciting weekend!
