Below The Sun

I just got an approval on a proposal for a website. This is always the most exciting part of the job to me. This is the time where creativity is absolutely necessary and rewarded. I love the fact that I can be creative and build another company’s business and still support myself. I really am grateful for all of the turns in the road that made this possible :)

Also, this thursday (December 18th) I will be participating in PhotoNOMA, a portfolio walk at New Orleans Museum of Art. 100 photographers will set up on tables and the public can walk through, chat with artists, look at photos, buy things, network, etc. I think it will be a lot of fun. While I am moderately connected in the New Orleans art scene, I don’t know too many people involved in the local photographic scene. I look forward to being able to meet new people and put myself out there! I just hope the prints I make will work out okay. Kinkos already botched them once, hopefully Lakeside camera will work out better.

The event was actually scheduled for last Thursday, so I had prints made last minute at kinkos, and then had some business cards overnighted to me, and then the event was cancelled due to the snow. The one day it snows in New Orleans. Hah!  So at least now I have the business cards and I will have better prints and I will have time to put matts on them. Hopefully everything comes out alright.

In the mean time I have one website to finish building and one to start designing, so it looks like this is going to be a moderately busy holiday season for me. In good time, cause I still have some presents to buy :)

Never use a cute word to describe anything having to do with a man.

My boyfriend was looking for a new bag that could carry a laptop as well as all of his breakfast, lunch, and in between food. I pointed one out that he already had and said, “Look, this one even has a pouch for snacks!”

He got so annoyed with the fact that I dared to call his lunch “snacks.” Apparently men don’t eat snacks; everything they eat should be regarded as Beef, whether or not that is infact the contents of their snack pouch.

On a similar yet completely different note, it’s been found that taller people make more money than their shorter counter parts. In fact, the difference is an average of $789 per inch per year. This is regardless of race or sex, height is apparently what makes the most of a difference. And not only height, but the height at which you stood at the age of 16 is the most important factor.
