there's little i control


i have no concept of what day it is....

this post will contain all the random things i've been meaning to post about but have been forgetting.....

ONE::

christopher faiss sawhorse desk

my former studio mate makes beautiful things [and installs them for other people]. above are his spiffed out sawhorses [what is it about sawhorses that is so appealing?? i want a pair of these, but with galvanized accents instead of bronze.... if only...] i have been hounding him to get his website together for gosh i don't know - like 5 YEARS?? well - we finally did it.

TWO::

i keep forgetting to mention that i have been in more dialogue videos. the last two were on niche: friend or for [with pia ] and this week social networking [with kate and will ]. i have a hard time watching myself, but i watch the videos to see what other people say. i kind of close my eyes when i'm onscreen and then re-open them when i don't hear my voice anymore. i always feel like i'm saying the dumbest stuff.

THREE::

my origami mobile was featured in cafe mom today. thanks sheri

FOUR::

the mixtape zine giveaway w/ my birdie on the cover is still going... till tomorrow.... [what i love about give-a-ways is all the new people you meet online]

FIVE::

4 random polaroids from Japan. i did say i'd post more of those, right? these are all the cute things in front of stores and in parks [and that i always seem to shoot on the left side of the frame??? why is that?]

    I always think you say the most sensible things...

    whenever i watch the dialogues, i think to myself "i could not do that, i hate watching/hearing myself on camera". but i think the virtual discussion is great (and it made me so happy to hear your baby cooing in the background!) and i think today's post garnered some great feedback and an actual dialogue--more than some of the others, perhaps? or maybe i was just paying more attention and got in on the conversation more. anyway, i think it is a great idea and i always like when you participate :)

    well those are pretty great sawhorses, i'd like a set too!
    i seem to always photograph to one side or the other too, and try to make myself do something else at times. doesn't always work.
    i hope you having a great week, each & every day.

    Hey there Lisa,
    So enjoyed watching you and other clever folk in those art dialogues... and I think you say the cleverest things and look terribly composed. I don't think there are many of us all that comfortable with seeing or hearing (or both!) ourselves. Bravo!
