You Gotta Have Friends

As you could tell from my Mobile Monday pics, we had some fun at Western Ave Studios last week when I invited a few friends over to help me arrange my office. I had several problems that needed solving:

1. Create a storage area that is functional, organized, and easily walled off without much construction or blocking of windows.
2. Find a place for my desk that clients won't see immediately upon entering, and allows me to work even when there's full sun pouring into the studio.
3. Create a comfortable seating arrangement for clients that will position them easily for viewing a slideshow or having an intimate chat during a meeting.
4. Make the furniture easy to move so that I can shoot studio work if I want to.

Not only did my friends help me accomplish ALL of the above, they even added a little foyer where I'll be able to set up a display! Fabulous!! As we were getting closer to the end, I pulled out some B&W film that's probably at least 5 years old, dropped it into my OM10 and shot the silliness that started unfolding after several hours of hard work:
