collaboration on a chilly monday

im not interested in the jewelry from Tiffany & Co whatsoever, but every day i open up the Wall Street Journal
on the right hand side, halfway up the page, there is a Tiffany advertisement.  Each day it's different and each morning I wake up, excited to see the ad.  The reason is.... i love how it's laid out... it's so simplistic but at the same time... classy and elegant.  So, I decided to fashion a few scrapbook page layouts directly from the Tiffany advertisements.  I haven't put them together yet, but when I do, I will post them on here to show you my muse and my creation side by side... maybe there will be some resemblance, maybe not.  I just find it funny that I'm interested in a designer jewelry advertisement more than the news of our worlds reality.  also, it makes me think of M each time I see it, and how fashion-lacking i must be ;)

we drove out to buffalo today for a sales meeting with a few other photography studios.  it's interesting to see the different sales strategies and marketing ideas that they bring to the table.  as a younger generation 'studio owner', i feel that there is a lot they need to catch up on with the new society coming around.  facebook, myspace, updating websites, blogging, creating an experience.  its exciting to be on the forefront of such a drastically changing industry.  photography has been and always will be a creative and innovative challenge... one that i cannot wait to further explore upon graduation!

the weather is still cold... so much that im tempted to stay at home and watch the new gossip girls show instead of walking across 96 to the gym.  but, i do believe im due for an overflow of endorphins after a long, draining day.  

the Solara is out and ready to go... but its too chilly for top down, so im holding out for a sunny day... blast a little sexy lady 

thanks to C, im seriously anticipating the release of the new stephanie meyer's book "breaking dawn" . i mean it when i say she is the next J.K. Rowling.  according to the book release countdown i have 95 days, 4 hours, 22 minutes, and 56 seconds until it's available.

that seems like such a long time.  although, i do recall playing apples to apples at K's house on new year's eve... we were talking about how there are still many months until schools out for the summer.  im on the eve of graduation with 19 days to go and i cannot find time to take a nap, much less take a second to breathe.  i suppose its added pressure and stress that we need to get our senior mailing out and on track for the upcoming month.  so far so good.  i just need to design a few more pieces!!

patiently waiting for the time to come when ill be shining like the sun,
