Meeting with Sejin

Yesterday I have managed to spend a sunny afternoon (a treat in itself!) in a great company of my friend Sejin. It is good to catch up with her, exchange oppinions on girly things like handbags and make up but also on serious things as well (business and photography), it gives a good balance of well spent couple of hours: we have some enterntainment and coffee but also we exchanged some useful information and supported each other in this uber difficult task which is becoming an art photographer. It is really though out there, I am telling you (have you seen BBC documentary on Eddie Izzard's rise to fame? More than a decade of struggling, shaping ideas, loosing money and finally succeeding against all odds. I think that there is at least several years in front of me before I hit Wembley Arena, ups, I mean Gagosian Gallery haha!) so the more I appreciate this cute gift that Sejin got for me from her native Korea. It will be a pleasure to jot down the ideas for new projects in these notebooks! Thank you!


BTW, I have enlarged a bit of one of the covers, that shows an ideal office set up for a graphic designer/photographer/illustrator/image creative person!

Remembering important things in the frenzy of everyday

It is way after midnight while I am writing this so technically the whole thing happened yesterday but for Simon and I, the 4th of July is our marriage anniversary!

Except that... I have completely forgotten about it! And my husband, who is usually the forgetfull one, got it absolutely right and when I returned home last evening this GORGEOUS bouquet was waiting for me on my work table (hence all the mess in the image's background). Oh, and I was also treated to a lovely meal in Brown's, which is where we had our wedding reception feast the next day after the ceremony in Oxford, now two years ago. Gosh, time flies indeed.

Wow, I must say I am VERY impressed and very much in love *blushes and jumps around the room, ups it is after midnight and I will annoy our neighbours* and I just hope that all our close friends and family who came all this way to participate in our nuptials, spared a thought about us yesterday. Let's meet all again in Brown's in Oxford, let's say, when Simon and I, we reach the 20th year bracket!

Hours

The number in the picture seems to state the number of hours (2289446) that Simon and I have worked last week but as usual on Sunday, I have an impression that everything is finally under control and we are able to cope with the workflow. Ha, we wish!

Entertainment

While preparing hundreds of images for our clients I was with one eye and both ears watching Beyonce debuting at Glastonbury (is she the new feminism? Fearless lady!), BBC series on luxury in Ancient Greece and preparing for tomorrow's photoshoot. Luckily the new Luc Besson's film is out now so we hope to get to the cinema for some visual inspiration very soon. However at the moment my brain reminds more of what's on this poster:

Tom Tykwer will be co-directing with Wachowsky brothers the film adaptation of David Mitchell's novel. It is going to be entirely filmed in Berlin! Adam, oh how I envy you!

I hope it to be more Run, Lola run than Perfume...
