I have been bookmarking incredibly photography and photo stylist sites for over two years.  Interior design and photography/photo styling have a lot in common, yes, but being good at design doesn’t mean you can take a photo to support your work, nope, not in the least.  I will confess, here in print, that one of my tremendous weaknesses in this business is photographing my finished work.  I have had the privilege of working on hundreds of design projects during that time.  I literally have less than 20 photographs to show my work, none of which were well taken (me of course).  This is a very unprofessional aspect of my business life that I have to shore up and improve on.  I can however, show you hundreds upon hundred of photos of my children and other random musings.

I’m hoping that this blog, will be like therapy for me.  You know how in therapy once you own something, and let it be real, you have an opportunity to change it?  I can change this; I can photograph my work or build  professional photography into the design budget.  I have a handful of friends that are really good at taking pictures, either for pleasure or as a profession.  There really is no excuse for this oversight.  I will say that my attention span has gotten shorter and shorter the longer I am in a creative professional (rationalizing now).  Feel free to hold me accountable along the way by asking me how I am doing with this.

What does this have to do with the price of bean in Wasco (my mom’s phrase)?  Well, some of my favorite photographers (the ones I do not personally know) seem to get featured online, in H Magazine. which I know very little about. I do know that I dig these.
