these past few months, i've been working really hard on brand my new line of cards, postcards and baby shower invites. i have an etsy set up and if you'd like to peek and see my mission to give you a taste of what it's all about, please feel free to go to http://www.etsy.com/people/PetiteAmore.

my goal is to have some product shots and be ready to go in 4 weeks :)

who ever thought creating a product line was easy...

thanks for keeping up!

massive inspiration

i was just featured in Will Parson's blog - a q&a about my photography. that was a first and i'm tres excited to see it on these here internets. my posts here have been few at best and there's no real answer other than computers are not massively inspirational to me. but i'm making a true effort now to keep this updated and inspiring for myself (at least)!

this summer was incredible and i've embarked on a new photographic journey.
it started with the desert...
and everything changed...

these are all from slab city.
more specifically, the range, and it's zen temple across the way, east jesus.





from there began the desire to do something i hadn't done before...and so was the birth of 19 c. press. below is the first image of a line of cyanotype cards i've just started. what do you think? i'll let you know where to find them and hoard them for your friends and family. each card is an original piece of artwork. oh, and imagine this as cyan, instead of black of white ;)

stay tuned for more of these 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch images.

Hat House


my favorite photo of the moment. taken at Harry the Hat's aka the 'Hat House'. one photographer that i admire greatly is Herman Leonard. he is an amazing person and highly accomplished photographer most well know for his Jazz archive. in that archive, he has quite a few portraits of Jazz musicians like Lester Young and Dizzy that are not portraits of them as people, but of their things. here's a shot of Herman's for reference...




that was my train of thought behind taking this photo at the time. a portrait of Harry, without him. i think it was a success. i will always love it.

i play model for red vignettes



lately I've been collaborating with my friend Nicole to experiment with her Polaroid Spectra, which she was lucky enough to find at a swap meet for $15. I'm envious of her find and her new toy. In order to cope with that envy, I've been her model for the red vignette filter and we are amassing a great series! we are in love and we hope you are too...

I've finally been turning some band photos from San Diego bands into album artwork for them! Last month, Roxy Jones released their 7" 'Chantal Goya' and in the works is a vinyl pressing for The Old in Out who are slated to use this as their cover...and here's what Megan and I looked like in the bathroom during the show where I took the second image.

lost in New York





I talked to a friend in New York yesterday and it reminded me of this amazing little coffee shop I stumbled on last year. It was so cute and quaint, but it had this really amazing downstairs area down a spiral staircase with paintings of twisted interpretations of Alice in Wonderland. I know it was somewhere near Katz' Deli, but I've yet to find it again. Here are some pics from my last visit there.
