we just got a new copy machine at the home office, and we had training today to learn how to use it – and one of our fp girls snapped these cute photos!
this is the instructor, alberto, who was very nice and very into copiers!
that is one nice looking copier! hehe…
looks like some people enjoyed the training, and some were a little tired… it must have been pretty early in the morning ;)

“don’t cry because it’s over. smile because it happened.” – dr. seuss
what was your favorite dr. seuss book? mine was always the cat in the hat…i loved thing 1 and thing 2 :)
beautiful photos, ladies! keep ’em coming :)
today is holi, also known as the festival of colors – a celebration of love, life, and the coming of spring :)
i posted one of tessar lo’s paintings a while back…but i keep coming back to his work so i wanted to post some more. i love the elephants that are in a lot of his work!
view more of his work here.
when i posted the photos yesterday of our chicago visual mit’s puppy wearing an fp scarf, a reader wrote in “ohhh polaroids. when will they be back?” funny you should ask…i just heard earlier this week that the impossible project (which has been working tirelessly to bring back production of polaroid film) has encountered some problems that are delaying the project’s timetable. they were planning on holding a press conference this past monday to announce what the future holds for polaroid film, but that event has been postponed until march. i will keep you all posted!
in the meantime, check out the impossible shop where you can still find rare analog polaroid products.
the above images are from the flickr group “save polaroid”, which consists of thousands of self-portraits sent in by polaroid film lovers in an attempt to save the special film.
you may recognize these images from our first episode of home sweet home that was on the blog a little while back. i came back to them recently and wanted to draw out a great decorating tip that might inspire your own efforts at home!
in case you didn’t see it, another fp girl and I went to the home of our director of design and image and took a little tour of her home. one thing that really stood out to me about how her house was decorated was the use of pink tape all over! it is such a cute idea and definitely adds that free people touch to a wall of photos that might otherwise look a little bit plain.
i love how it looks against that blue paint!
if any of you have fun, free people inspired decorating ideas, please do share :)
i found this photography project the other day and it reminds me a lot of the WAFA mail art postcards i posted this morning so i thought it would make a cool DIY project for today! this is something that i definitely want to try- all you need is a camera and a friend!
every week, photographers ian land and caroline hancox each take a photograph and email it to each other. they then create a diptych of the photos and display them on a website, taking turns deciding which photo goes on the left and which one goes on the right. to make things more interesting they live 114 miles apart, have never met and do not know what the other one has taken during the week.
isn’t it weird how even though they aren’t planned, the photos end up looking really good side by side? or do i just think that because that’s the only way i’m seeing them?
regardless, it is such a fun project and a great way for them to collaborate and inspire each other through their work. check out the website here.
this would be such a fun thing to do with a friend- especially one that lives far away! if any of you try it send me your photos :)
postcard collages by wafa, an international artist collective that focuses on collaborative projects. one artist creates something and mails it to another artist to finish, adding an element of surprise and randomness that i think is really interesting.
check out more of their stuff here…it’s pretty sweet.
oh and wafa stands for we are f—ing awesome :)
