Well, this week was comprised of moving all of my stuff from Digital Labrador into my small home office. It resembles a submarine navigation station, lots of electronics crammed into a small space. The big difference is that when I sit at my laptop I have an amazing view of downtown. The look of the city varies so much from day to day. I promise to post some pics of the view soon.
As many of you know I have been looking for studio space to rent now that the new location of Digital Labrador does not have enough room for me to shoot in. The cost was through the roof! I was looking at 3,000-4,000 a month just in rent. In this economy? Crazy right? So, after doing a lot of soul searching about space and the type of work I shoot, the solution was right under my nose.
We live in this great old three story brick school building that just happens to have an extra room that was originally to be the developers office. Our awesome neighbors Jim and Jean, who own it, have agreed to let me rent it. It is about 14 feet wide and 28 deep and has its own entrance. There are nice north light windows and a wall with some exposed brick. Amazing how the best solution was right here the entire time.
There is no kitchen in the space so for my food shooting, I will shoot out of our loft. I just had my first food shoot here and it worked out great. I have some pics of the setup and will post soon. The food stylist loved cooking on our Viking range and there is tons of counter space.
