ALM Photo: Studio Update #8

Even though we have been having a lot of rain, the studio construction is still progressing. We now have windows and doors and Allan and I have been making a lot of decisions on colors, hardware and lighting. These are big decisions that will impact the studio space and our work stations. We returned from Pennsylvania on Monday evening and have been very busy this week. The Glamour Workshop in PA was great and we got a bunch of nice images and also met some local photographers who were a lot of fun. I have been working on my fused glass inventory for the Dogwood Arts Artist's Marketplace which starts next Friday and runs through Sunday afternoon. Allan has been an electrician all week in an effort to get the large kiln power supply hooked up outside my new glass studio. Not a free moment around ALM Photo this week! Check out the photos below and stop by and see us next weekend downtown on Market Square. Look for the booth manned by people barely able to keep their eyes open!

ALM Photo: Studio Update #7

Wow! Now the studio is starting to look like a studio. Doors and windows were installed this week and work has also begun on the Sassy Glass Studio (http://sassyglassstudio.blogspot.com) space in the lower part of the former garage. It is so exciting to see the daily tranformation. It is also fun to spend a lot of time at Lowe's picking out doors, door hardware, ceiling fans, light fixtures, and flooring. Too bad I don't root for Jimmy Johnson and Lowe's NASCAR Sprint Cup team! Some recent photographs of the progress are below.

Windows installed and roof over deck

Patio door installed- Love it!

We are headed to Pennsylvania today for a glamour workshop with Rolando Gomez of San Antonio, Texas. This will be my third workshop with Rolando and Allan's fifth. He has written two books and produced several videos on the subject of photographing glamour. We will return home with some great images and new knowledge. Every day is a learning experience! More updates on the studios next week.
