I am super excited to share this free resource with you today! I recently downloaded photographer Kirk Mastin’s free transitioning to film ebook, which was super helpful, but what really got me excited was the follow-up email-‘Don’t let these 3 things hold you back from shooting film’. The follow-up email has links for beginning camera suggestions and even a link to ebay (hint it’s not a Contax 645)! Also some film choices with links AND a super tip for those that are afraid of exposure and metering in which he gives an exact formula for stellar photos with your film camera–the film, what to set your aperture and shutter speed to and the best lighting conditions, I was so excited about that last tip that I am dying to get through my roll of black and white film so I can test it out!
If you aren’t interested in shooting film right now Kirk just released a new photo app (free!) I have downloaded it and have been using the camera almost exclusively since. We wish him a ton of success and we hope that his series inspires more people to start shooting film.
Let us know if you shoot a roll, we can’t wait to see your results!

Ok, this is the bit where it gets a little random up in here with the subject matter, but stick with me, I can’t be the only person that was being driven mentally insane by this chore, right? Let me start by saying I am a bed making connoisseur, my very first blog post I ever hit ‘publish’ on was about how to make a bed. It had about 30 photos, it was as ridiculous as it sounds and my husband still brings it up to prove his argument about my neurosis. Read More
This came on my radar this week but I thought I had missed the boat to mention it to everyone and was so bummed, but to my delight in investigating this morning I found it is still available! So QUICK, get it while it lasts!
Hand-lettering artist extraordinaire Ms. Molly Jacques, has bundled some of her most popular (and some of my very favorite) fonts and is offering them for a drastically reduced price–27 fonts for $50?! Just one of those fonts comes in at near that price, this one here which I adore. Molly is not the only one doing bundled fonts many very creative font houses are offering them right now as well. I have linked to some that may be worth taking a peek at!

I have been wanting to write this post since we first discovered this design resource marketplace! I have mentioned it in passing before but I wanted to do a little round-up of our favorite assets we have been using in our own work or assets we wish we had a project to use them in! The talent found at Creative Market is a little mind blowing but we do know the sheer volume of items available could make your head spin. What I love the most about Creative Market is that it’s also great for design novices, someone like bloggers or small business that may have a design aesthetic that may not match their skill level, you can find great templates to work with that you can modify and customize as much as your skill level allows. A basic Photoshop course which you can easily find on Skillshare or Youtube should be able to suffice in getting you to manipulate the templates (some shops even offer tutorials)!Read More
