The Office
January 6th, 2009

I’m long overdue for an office makeover. I’ve always been on the messier side, so I usually try to claim the creative artist’s exemption. But seriously, I can be clean. It’s just that I need to find a home for everything. I’m not exactly a pack rat either, throwing things away gives me alot of joy. It’s just that sometimes the paperwork piles up, and little things, like this expired coupon, get kept for too long.
Additionally I’ve also acquired more photo equipment last year than usual so they need a home too. This business is currently in its toddler stages and the kid that is my business needs to learn how to put her toys in the toy box. Don’t you like it when I personify my business? It makes me feel less guilty when I look at this pile on my desk:

Pictures are close up–I’m saving the wider angle lens for when the office is done. For this project I will be enlisting the help of Ikea and the readers of this blog for accountability. Feel free to email me and ask how the office project is going. I’ll try to update as I go. My goal is to get this office revamped by the end of January.
Hope everyone had a great holiday season! This year because of my shooting schedule I got to stay home and let me tell you, the traffic in LA is perfect during Christmas and New Year’s. Everyone’s gone and the freeways were not congested at all. As an LA veteran usually I schedule everything around times when the traffic is low, but this season it was pretty clear at most times.
You know traffic in LA is bad when that’s the first thing you think of when people ask you how your holiday season was. But all in all it was a nice break, time with husband, family and friends. Oh, and I tried a slice of baguette with blue cheese and honey for the first time. It’s supposed to be really good with champagne. But I thought it was all right. Maybe I’m just a cheese whiz and crackers kind of girl.
I also got to take a short weekend trip to Vegas and see one of my friends win a small poker tournament and another friend hit a royal flush in pai gow. I love watching people play poker, perhaps more than I love playing poker myself.
My 2009 is off to a great start. Hope the same is true for you!
