Typos, COMMENCE!!!


Done. Done! DONE!!!

I'm just so happy to have actually finished something.

So how do you like my fonts?! Hm? HM!?

I had a lot of fun making the little route map. I had even more fun writing all those "pleasant" phrases. 
Of course, some stairs came to the party as well. They are supposed to be plane stairs, only incredibly inaccurate. Who needs railings? Not fictional I! 

A great inspiration starter is Come Fly With Us!


It gives the history of flight attendants and is mostly photographs, so it appeases me.



This picture is bound to have some typos in here. I'm too tired to notice them right now.

Stairs and Bottles?

I have returned to my Mecca! After more than a month, I was finally able to go back to Madison. Yet again, I satiated my photography whoring with pictures of the Capitol Building. 


But first, the Theater.


The natural light was quite exquisite that day.


This is the perfect place to host a ball. Yes, my fairy tale princess dreams are showing.


I'm suddenly thinking steam punk?




My favorite view.


A run off of that one coke bottle photograph from here. This time featuring my new "Keep Calm Carry On" slogan. 

Perched on a step! Seriously, that bottle was bought just 30 minutes earlier. I was so excited, I had to photograph it immediately. 




You may think "Hipster!" Fear not, I do not buy into the hipster agenda (I make it sound like a political party). I merely appreciate the historical value, font choice, and color of this slogan. It also helps me calm down (and drink more water). 


Duwaaaah~ The chipmunk is eating my chip!



The "sale" basement of my favorite shoe store. Obviously not the Capitol, just a nice layout.

It would happen sooner or later

While I am still experiencing my creativity block, I thought I would finally share with you something that I have been hinting at since the day I started this blog. That's right: STAIRS


Stairs are a passion that has been lingering inside me for a long while. It wasn't until recent that I acknowledged it actually existed.

The first signs was the abundance of shots I took at the Wisconsin Capitol Building.




Then it showed up full force when I was living in Japan. I had no choice but to realize this wasn't just a coincidence. 












This is just a tiny sampling of what accumulated there. 

So ever since I "came out of the closet under the stairs," I have been taking pictures of any staircase I see. No matter how dowdy it is. Sometimes, I even go on "stair pilgrimages." 

My friends have been very supportive and have even taken pictures of local stairs for me. Now, before you say I am a pervert, this is because I am making an "Amateur Stair Photography with Odd Quotes" book. I actually set up the format and am doing it all by hand. I even have already done 50 pages or so. I haven't worked on it in awhile cause I got frustrated with Indesign. But....someday when I am done, I will send it in to some publishers. I even wrote some possible candidates down. Though would someone really want to publish such a strange and pointless book?
