procrastination is an art

the 6 page paper i have due tomorrow notwithstanding, i've managed to spend the past couple of hours chatting on the phone, reading blogs, shopping for boots online (snow tomorrow!), thinking about what to do over Christmas break, and fighting the strange urge i have to sew (i don't even own a sewing machine) a less girly version of this quilt for my first nephew
clark (born this morning.)

so before cranking up the classical music (it helps me focus) and getting to work on that paper, i thought i'd top off my procrastinatory activities with another shot from my d.i. series.

a lamp

dear d.i.,
thank you for providing me with this most hideous lamp as well as inspiration for my latest project.
sincerely,
claire

how fitting

i don't want to be a blog complainer, but i just couldn't resist since my bad day had alot to do with a graphic design midterm that was heavy on typefaces (and flat bike tires and missed lunches and botched shoots).

i do have some real photos to post soon though.

and you can check out more of these funny cards here.

linda the cupcake queen

so i'm doing a series where i'm playing with ways of representing people's personalities through hair/makeup and styling.

this was my first shoot.

linda loves travel, spaghetti, stars, baking, and music.

i love fall

summer used to be my favorite season. i guess that's kind of inevitable when you live somewhere where summer lasts all year. i've been in utah for five years now though, and i think fall is getting to be a contender. the season isn't in full swing down here in the valley yet, but i managed to zip up to montreal, canada last weekend to visit my dad, my grandparents (who were visiting from france), and my oldest friend celine. we went for a walk out in the laurentide mountains and the colors were so beautiful! it made me want to livin in a cabin on a lake and travel by red canoe...anyway, these are the photos i took.
