You might have noticed I haven't posted many (any?) images for the past three or four months. I put it aside for a while as a friend and I built an addition onto my house over the summer, a studio and place to keep my photo-crap. I miss the image making, but have really enjoyed the construction process, which is largely wrapping up.
I'm back to 50-60 hour weeks teaching high school now, but in any spare time, I'm building furniture for the new room. The very first project: a new lens cabinet! It started out as a big pink-and-green dresser bought from Goodwill for $99. From the flower stickers and Hello Kitty decals that were all over it, I'd guess it's last service was in a little girl's bedroom, but with a deep red cherry finish and a new hutch on top, it'll keep the lenses happy. I still need to add glass doors to the front and crown-work on top, but it's getting there...
I put the lenses in it a couple of nights ago, then sat back with a nice beer and admired my mess. And I realized these old lenses (and okay, a few newer ones) have turned me into an equipment geek. Still, you have to love them...
Hoping to have the studio actually up and running in a couple more months. And thanks for indulging my self-involved post!
