So excited, demolition and rebuild has begun on my old home/studio. The house is 97 years old, has the original handturned unpainted woodwork; the original hardwood floors with weird patterns that were meant to be covered with rugs, the original lath and horsehair walls and ceilings, (and corresponding lack of insulation!). Redoing the entry way which is a large room by itself, that goes into a 14×30 (total) camera room via original pocket doors, which then flows into a 2nd smaller camera room for intimates or infant shooting.
Muslin movers as well as installing expan drives to the walls, a little nook for a new huge set, a new closet to try to hide some out of season stuff, new seamless in fun, bright colors, as well as a couple new canvases for traditional head and shoulder images.
Alex of A&P construction laid on the firring for the new ceiling in the main camera room today with the sheetrock going up tomorrow; then the real mess begins with the mud and sanding –I can’t wait!
The entry way………. Camera Room 1 ……………… Camera Room 2
At least I got his blog started, now to be more regular in posting.
