For the past few weeks I’ve been working on a rather consuming project – the relaunch of my website! It’ll be up in a week or two, with all new photography and custom lines. For now I’m printing loads of new samples and taking pictures, like these from the new Baby Announcement collection. Like most [...]

monday contest: six-word stories
Posted in Letterpress, Monday Contests, Studio Life, tagged monday contest, moontree letterpress on July 13, 2009 | 31 Comments »
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was in a bar one night when someone challenged him to write a six-word story. His answer: ”For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” I love this idea – so today begins a new contest series of six-word stories, each week with a different variation!
This week’s theme is “High School”. [...]
one of my summer projects

Some news! I’m excited to announce that this summer I’ll be guest blogging for Lion in the Sun, a great paper store here in Brooklyn. I was thrilled when the store asked me to help out with their online presence because it largely involves me delving into their massive collection of past jobs and photographing my favorites for their [...]
dark ink colors

Today I delivered this wedding invitation with very dark inks. The clients chose a vibrant combination of burgundy and navy blue elm leaves. Even though each piece was a single ink color, I had to break these into two batches: graphics getting double ink, and text single ink. This happens sometimes with very dark ink [...]

I had such a nice few days away this past weekend. I went to an awesome family party in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and then had a photography pow-wow with my sister in New Jersey. I took these photos in Frenchtown, NJ on the gorgeous Delaware River at sunset. This weekend we were shooting only in [...]
a week of deskwork

It’s a gloomy day here in New York, I woke up to thunderstorming and dark skies. But Breck and I are listening to She & Him and plowing through our to-do lists, so all is well. This week I’ll be chained to my desk working on proofs and copy for the relaunch of my website [...]

Well the show starts tomorrow and I’m finally getting some of these images up. In the end I just decided to dig up some old plates and print a series of journals. The vintage ladies sports images were from my very first series of cards. I’m also going to be selling some prints from the [...]
computer furball

In addition to two wedding jobs later this week, I have a lot of computer work to finish over the next few days. Today I’m working on proofs and ordering materials, next I’ll be making more (yet unpublished) updates to my website. I’m trying to make the ordering process a little easier for out-of-towners and [...]

Today I’m processing plates and cutting paper in between ink colors…
PS: Someone pointed out that this images are confusing… Top photos is an exposed polymer plate, bottom is the negative that I use to expose. :)
some thoughts on business

Tomorrow and Saturday will be busy printing days, so I chose this sunny day to run some much-needed errands in Manhattan. (Has anyone here noticed that they’re starting to use the newer voice-automated subway trains on the F Line? I’m sad, I prefer the old ones.) The Lower East Side was blooming today…
So I’ve been [...]
