My Other Job

This weekend, in between the Crested Butte Arts Festival and the Telluride Festival of the Arts, I'll be working at my other job. Plenty of people have two jobs, but I don't know many who like their other job as much as I do. Mine is working for Alison White Photography, my wife's company. Not only do I get to work with my lovely wife, I get to figure out lighting problems and sometimes get behind a camera. I find photography to be a good counterpoint to furniture design and making...a creative cross pollination of sorts. Both deal with light in their own interesting ways- one using surfaces and textures to shape and direct light, and the other using light on an object or person to create or evoke a mood or feeling. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to work with Alison, who's work continually amazes me, and also to have a bunch of friends who are also really good photographers. You can see some of Alison's work here or here.
