MRR Photography Show @ Needles & Pens Gallery in San Francisco, CA
So, a few weeks ago I was asked to be in a photo show at Needles & Pens gallery in San Francisco! N&P is having a photography show in conjunction with MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL’s photo issue that came out this month. The show starts this Friday, February 12, 2010 and will run for a month.
{ Needles and Pens is located at 3253 16th Street in San Francisco, California. They are open daily from noon to 7:00 PM, and the photo viewing is on Friday, February 12, 2010 from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM. Their website is http://www.needles-pens.com. }
I will have two photos in the show (both were taken at the Hi Tone cafe in Memphis, TN during Gonerfest 6) and will be donating 50% of my sales to MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL. If you live in the SF area you should definitely check this out– there will be some really awesome photos there from some really awesome photographers! I am very honored to be among them!

Lomographic ACEOs! (and giveaway!)
I sort of put my etsy shop on the back burner for a while. With all the craft shows at the end of the year plus the holidays and a million other things I’ve had going on since then, I have barely had time to even think about Etsy, much less keep it updated. Last week while I was ordering prints for a friend of mine, I did two things. (1) I decided I am going to try and print a photograph from EVERY show I go to this year and put them all in a book or something, and (2) I ordered some prints from my Beach holga series from last summer.
I looooove my Holga. My husband bought me my holga as a Christmas gift back in ‘04 or ‘05, and a few years ago I modified it to use 35mm film. I love this camera for so many reasons- for example: it uses FILM, and you must choose your exposures very carefully (you only get about 20 shots) and after you shoot a roll, you have to manually rewind the film in a dark room, then take it to a lab and wait for it to be developed (or develop it yourself!)… then scan it… then have it printed (and in my case, wait even longer for prints to be delivered). All of the work and waiting that goes into producing an actual photograph is beyond rewarding. When I got these little prints the other day, my heart was filled with joy. It’s photography! And it’s just as magical to me now as it was when I was 8 years old.
So I printed some 3′5″ x 2′5″ prints which will also work for my very first ACEOs. (ACEO = Art Cards, Editions and Originals). I listed five different photos tonight in my Etsy shop (http://www.kandi.etsy.com).
: )
In conjunction with listing my first holga prints/first ACEOs, I would like to do a little giveaway! Leave a comment on this post (be sure to include your name and e-mail address) and I will pick one person to receive one of each print… that’s five all together. Giveaway open until Sunday, February 7th at midnight. Winner announced soon after that! : )

Crocheting an afghan: Part 2
I am officially done crocheting granny squares for my afghan. 110 total squares of the following colors:
(Ew, not the best picture, but whattaya gonna do). Sunday night I laid them all out and sorted them into 10 rows of 11 squares, each placed neatly in order to be sewn in their own ziploc baggies. I was really glad I increased the number of squares from 99 to 110 because I really wanted to use that deep purple alpaca (bottom right) because that was some of the first yarn I had ever bought after learning how to knit, and it was kind of special to me. I was happy to be able to incorporate it this piece. Now for part two- sewing everything together. I have a feeling this is going to be where I start procrastinating. Whatta ya say, Brandi? How long do you think this will take to sew up? I have until the end of 2010 to finish- think I’ll make it? : )
