It’s been rainy here. I don’t really mind it. It’s days like these that make me want to stay home, cuddle up and watch one of those timeless movies. For now I guess I’ll just have to watch the rain from my desk.
Making History
Photography is quickly becoming more and more of a passion of ours. We’ve never had advanced photography instruction, but we love to shoot pictures none the less. Recently, I inherited some cameras from my Grandpa. We are really honored that he wanted us to have them.
The first camera was my Grandpa’s Leica IIIc that he bought when he was over in Germany near the end of WWII. It is in perfect condition and we will definitely be taking some pictures with it.
The second one is a Kodak Brownie 8mm Movie Camera. We’ve never shot film movies before, but we think it would be really fun to attempt it.
There is so much history behind these cameras and we are extremely excited to become a part of it. Along with the cameras came two shoe boxes. One is filled with old slides and negatives and the other has reels and reels of 8mm film. Together they document my Grandparents, Uncle and Mother’s life. Jake already ordered an 8mm film projector and we are looking into slide and negative scanners. Once we have the right equipment we’ll be able to journey through their past and make exciting discoveries. Along the way we will be sharing highlights of our findings.
Say “I Love You” In Helvetica

You can say, “I love you,” in Helvetica. And you can say it with Helvetica Extra Light if you want to be really fancy. Or you can say it with the Extra Bold if it’s really intensive and passionate, you know, and it might work.

Photo of the Week: Lido Apartments
The Lido apartment building is right down the road from where Jake works. We liked the way the neon sign looked at dusk. We really like the vintage feel of the neon signs in Los Angeles. This sign is one of our favorites.
