A show of hands, how many of you print your instagram pix? That's what I thought. With so many photo apps available that allow you to order prints seconds after you snapped them, it's perplexing as to why people are content to keep the images squired away in the phone gallery. Perhaps the unconventional size of instagram & ... read more
my monday morning obsession
Source: budgetwisehome.com via Meredith on Pinterest I'm moderately obsessed with the idea of dividing up a pastel colored map and framing the individual sections in inexpensive frames - of course in the same color and hanging in the accurate order. I'm currently trying to strong arm a client into this idea for his guest room with a New York City ... read more
Googling for Internet Gold
Ain't Google grand?! Although I have alerts on apartmentjeanie, partyjeanie and photojeanie rarely do I receive any relevant information. Usually someone named Jean has been photographed or another woman named Jeanie said she was going to party like it's 1999, but nothing that is germane to me or the biz. Today, I decided to search my name - ... read more
my butterball turkey
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the newest staff member here at photojeanie HQ. Tater Tot the bulldog puppy was handpicked by our senior social director, Little Bit. An excellent addition to the team, we are still fine tuning his role in the company. We believe Tater Tot has a bright future in the pr department as he has taken a dozen ... read more
totally awesome toy photography
I've been buying a lot of photography of late (damn you, Fab!) which is awesome, but problematic as there is zero available wall space in which to feature it. Recently, I stumbled upon Ryan Roberts' brilliant and hilarious photo work. I could have easily purchased the entire collection! Since I want to acquire (another) brother for Little Bit, I ... read more
gone fishin’
Well, technically no fish will be caught, only sun rays. The hardworking staff of photojeanie, apartmentjeanie & partyjeanie will be taking an extended re-mix summer holiday to ensure fall freshness! There are clients to meet, surfing to watch and actual book reading to be done. Hope the rest of your summer is hot & ... read more
pinterest! pinterest! pinterest!
This is all I have read about in the past week. Perhaps the repetition is due to my plowing through 213 blog entries in Google Reader on Friday night or that suddenly every tweeter I follow has joined en mass, but I have been attacked on all social media fronts with the word, ‘Pinterest’. I finally had to investigate this online phenom ... read more
practical polaroids
There is a stack of Polaroids in my nightstand drawer that are not fit for presentation – no, no they aren’t smutty or inappropriate subject matter, but just not good enough to be displayed. Most are of Little Bit, a few of Pancake and one of a couple of friends who normally are super photogenic, but the camera failed them and their facial ... read more
iphone envy
Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? Ok, so I’ll just cop to my affliction – I have iphone envy. More specifically, I have iphone photo app envy. And saying it twice doesn’t diminish my desire for the Android platform to adopt a legitimate hipstamatic option. There are alternatives that posses similar capabilities ... read more
graphically illustrated
Unless you are a head of state or royalty, it is highly unlikely you will be sitting for a painted portrait. But that doesn’t mean that you must forgo the opportunity to have your image immortalized in perpetuity. Having a graphic illustration of yourself is like having the best hair day (and in my case unobtainable color), a professional make up ... read more
