Work, work, work...

Fairfax Photography Shop
Monday: 10 am - 5 pm

Today was a boring day. I set up to have 4 photo shoots done that day, and only 1 ended up coming in to get their picture taken. It was a fun for that one photo shoot with my friend, Irene. She took beautiful pictures, and some very silly ones too. I spent the rest of the day working on the pictures from the shoot to make them look their best. 

Oh! earlier that day I helped a women make a crazy frame for her pictures she had of her kid's birthday. The frame was a lava lamp print on all four sides and it looked really cool. I even surprised myself. I taught her how to use photoshop so she could work on the pictures herself, to lighten and darken the pictures to make them look prettier. 

It was just a very low-key day.


Scott Nichols Gallery
Wednesday: 11 am - 5:30 pm

So my mentor, Susan, was out all week so I got to work for Scott Nichols. They had just got back from a NY show so we were waiting on the 200 pictures they were shipping back. I spent the day looking up information about our next show on Don Worth. 

The main computer had crashed so I had to look up the information in books, which was pretty awesome because I got to see a lot of his pictures, that were amazing. I wrote down all the information on 7 sticky notes. The 200 pictures never came.


Thursday: 11 am - 4:30 pm

Yesterday while working on the Don Worth piece, the gallery got a phone call. The two hundred pictures from NY were here and ready to be unpacked. When the pictures got up to the 4th floor we immediately started taking everything out.

I unpacked all the pictures and leaned them against the wall, unwrapped the bubble wrapped ones, and took off the cardboard edges of all 200 pictures. It was really tiring but I got to see some great pictures that included Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, and many others.
