scanning away

I got a scanner! I'll explain more about my reasons behind getting it a bit later on, but first I am so excited to have it since now I can show you the photos I took with the 3d toy camera I had talked about earlier this month. There are a bunch more on my flickr site if you want to take a look. I just love the double image that results. And you basically have no control when taking the photos with exposure or anything, so I was happy to see that they came out relatively well. Not perfect exposure of course, but I love that look that you get with toy cameras. And I'll be exploring more with it when I take out my Holga more often once I get my medium format film delivered next week. Hooray!

So the reason behind this purchase is because I'm finally made the decision that I'm going to open my own Etsy shop. (By the way, if you haven't heard of it you can see the website at www.etsy.com - it's an awesome hand crafting/home made/art/vintage seller website) I've thought a lot about it, and I've decided that I will give it a try. My film festival job is only three days per week, so I had been planning on getting another job the other two days of the work week. But I was thinking that this may finally be my opportunity to try to sell my photos. And I'm going to combine it with my love for antiques and vintage clothing by selling both of those on it as well. This will give me an excuse to head on mini road trips to go antique shopping! Then I can resell them on the site. I think it sounds pretty ideal, so I'm hoping it will work out where I make a profit. Anyways, this is still about a month away from launching, so I'll keep you posted when it is up.

So that's the latest. Today is Kelley's golden birthday (30 on the 30th!) which is very exciting. Also I've been listening to records now. Oh - did I mention my sister doesn't have a tv? Yes, I'm back to a blissful life of ignorance (speaking of, what is this Walle I've been seeing on the internet??) where I have no clue what's going on in the world. So Kelley has pulled out her old record player which I've been loving since her record collection includes albums such as the Sound of Music, Fleetwood Mac, and the current record I'm listening to - Oklahoma. Brings back my childhood memories of non-stop musicals. So that's been another exciting piece of news to report. And that wraps up my time today with you guys. Signing out.
