Well, what an exciting week this has been! I've been moved to the mobile office on the job site and set up my desk. So far, I have my company laptop, two dry erase calendar boards and one famed picture. The picture is of a flower my sister-in-law took while she was in Ireland (I will post it below). I have to get a little drawer organizer so my pens and markers aren't rolling around. We also had our first Precon Meeting which means we (my company, the HOA of the condo complex and the architect group) had a chat about who is responsible for what, what everyone's expectations are and when the work can be expected to officially start. It was really cool being a part of something so important. I am the official liaison between the homeowners and my coworkers, meaning if there are any questions either group has, they have to direct them towards me. This whole experience is going to be a new learning curve in my career, but I strongly believe that it will be a successful curve and at the end of the project, I am pretty certain I will be a much stronger asset to my company.
In other news, I have tried two new restaurants that specialize in vegan foods! The first one is a pizza joint in Greenlake, Seattle called Rizzo's Pizza. I had never tried vegan cheese before and I had always wondered how you could possibly make vegan pizza since cheese and butter is a main component. However, I ordered the Great Greek pizza and some cheesy bread sticks, both of which were totally vegan and SUPER amazing! I've since bought my own vegan cheese from the market - Daiya - and am hopeful that I can recreate some of that deliciousness myself at home. The second place is downtown Seattle and it's called Bamboo Garden: Vegetarian Cuisine, but my friends that I went with say that the whole menu is actually vegan, so they must have eliminated any animal products like milk or cheese. I ordered something like a pan-fried noodles with "chicken" cooked in a spicy Szechuan Sauce - Delicious!
So, I have to get on my computer and change my studio pictures from RAW files to JPGS so I can upload them to my blog. Maybe I'll do it in a few hours after The Hobbit is done :-) I have two shots I'd like to share with you. First is my beverage shot. It's decent enough, but I think I can improve upon it - like, instead of a plastic and glass tea pot, just a full on glass pot, and instead of a solid porcelain cup, i'll use a glass cup. My other studio shot is my perfume shot. My teacher liked the simplicity of it, especially since the bottle itself is so interesting to look at, but if I do reshoot it, I think i'll go with a different background - something like a Soji Screen or crumpled up rice paper to look sort of Asian inspired. I have two weeks to re-shoot and a whole lot of work that needs to be done for this coming Friday. But, I do want to start sharing my school work with everyone, so keep your eyes peeled.
Anywho, that's quite a bit for now. I will check back in later with some photos. Until then, stay healthy and happy and take care of yourself and others! :-)
