This weekend I am going up to Wisconsin to work more on my 1870's evening and day dresses with. They are almost done and I can't wait to post the final product on here! It's the best work I've done so far... clothing rather than a costume. I'm going to have Keith do some tintypes of me in the dresses and they are going to look stunning! I keep telling him about these pieces I'm doing and it will be such a joy to finally photograph them.

These past couple days I have set aside more time for my fiction writing. I have to say, it's difficult trying to find the balance between how much time should be sent sending out job applications and how much time should be spent writing. Hopefully I will find that balance.

The project I've been working on is one that has floated in and out of my head for a few months now. It is a story comprised of a series of flash fiction pieces centered around the phenomenon of what would happen if a private family, unassociated with any government or organization, made it to the moon. What would the implications be for the rest of the world? I tackle it from the vantage points of the general public through Reddit and the DailyWhat, governments, and the family who made it to the moon. I'm very excited about where it's headed. Maybe I'll post some on here at a later date.

The CEO of Coffee, Tea, & Me hired me again to do some photography work for their new products. I did two shoots: the first was shot in a school cafeteria in which I took a variety of pictures to cater towards both elementary schools and high schools around the country; the other shoot had a more gourmet element to it in which I targeted clients such as nursing homes, assisted living communities, and hospitals.

The company loved the work I did and informed me that they would like me to do another shoot next week that will be used for retail brochures and posters.

Here are some of the photos I provided thus far:
