hello, hellllloooo is anyone still there? {photojournalistic photographer holly, mi}

I know, I know I am a horrible blogger lately but guess what, guess what.....the new studio space is getting really really close to being complete! It has been quite the trip, working, shooting, processing, new projects, decorating, planning.......you get the picture. So today I was so excited to tackle my first design project in the new space and I thought you guys might like to see what I've been up to & get a sneak peek of the new space. We have so much more exciting news coming, I can't wait to share........

{these bricks used to be the back wall but my grandfather added the space i'm moving the studio to as our machine shop back in the 70's. my sister and i used to pick away at the crumbly brick. i love the texture.}

{part of the space. the other that's draped off still needs a bit of work, like front doors instead of an overhead garage door. detail, details.}

{the blank white wall i tackled today.}

{isn't this old water spigot cool? it still works too!}

{and i love this old wench my grandfather & dad used to use to lift big heavy car parts with}

{the huge man-hole size floor drain is a bit creepy, like what can crawl up from down there, but still kind of cool.}

{a little girly sparkle in an industrial space? absolutely!}

{holy sea of frames. i was a bit overwhelmed at this point but with nicole's help we powered through.}

{frame one. that first nail was tough. it was a perfectly unblemished wall, now not so much.}

{coming along nicely. nicole had a great suggestion for figuring out where the nails should go. put a bit of paint on the frames hook, line it up where you want it and gently touch the frame to the wall. genius!}

{and done! i could not have done this without nicole's help, words of advice, someone to hand me a frame, take the hammer so it wouldn't fall off the ladder, that only happened once. thank you thank you!}

So excited to order prints!
