FUJIFILM FP-3000B

FUJIFILM FP-3000B is being discontinued. This is probably my favorite film. So sad. I'm stockpiling as much as I can afford in our refrigerator, but it isn't much and film doesn't last forever. The tough thing is deciding what is worthy of a shot. The cost of the film has already doubled. Two bucks a shot and when it's gone, that is the end.

Desert in December

For our honeymoon we took a nine day road trip through the Southwest. I had driven between Los Angeles and Texas twice, but was in the process of moving (with my cat) both times and was not able to enjoy the trip much.

I've recently become interested in 35mm photography. In my collection of old cameras I found a Nikon FM, which I cleaned up and brought along on the trip. These photos were taken in White Sands, NM and Joshua Tree, CA.

I love the desert.

My first entry. I've created this blog to document my adventures in designing and sewing clothing. I imagine I'll include some music and photography stuff, as well. Admittedly, I've had trouble keeping up with blogs in past, but I will try to do better this time around.

I got married about two months ago. Like many brides, one of my primary concerns in wedding planning was my dress. I knew what I wanted early on. It was very simple, yet too specific to be found ready-made. At first I thought I would hire someone to make the dress for me. Then I remembered that I've been sewing for over 20 years - paying someone else to make my dress was ridiculous. So I decided to design and sew the dress myself. In hindsight, I am very happy that I accepted the challenge and I'm glad that so many people supported my doing so (though at times I felt like damning them). Ultimately, it has given me the confidence I needed to finally start designing and sewing dresses to sell. My desire to get out from behind a desk gives me the motivation. And without further ado, my dress. Much of the detail is lost in this picture, but you get the idea.
