My friend Hayley is the founder/editor/head writer of Swap! Magazine, based out of San Luis Obispo, California. Focused on promoting and publishing the up and coming artists, musicians, and creatives of all type in the Central Coast, Hayley has a heart for the local community, and helping grow that. Due to lots of hard work, and a passion for good art and story, the Zine is starting to take off after only three issues. Between her notepad, and multi decade old tape recorder, Hayley works all over the City doing everything from interviews to writing her stories and promoting the magazine. Be sure to check out the site, and support Hayley’s work.

Get your vacuum on! I have started in on a printed portfolio book, re organizing what is currently on my website, and doing a little bit of refocusing (spring cleaning) in general. 

The move to California is really proving to be a good one.  Between the people I have been meeting, and some photo work and opportunities(see above) that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise, I am extremely grateful.  

Have fun cleaning!

-Seth

Big breakfast for a big day.  Quaker cinnamon squares (my favorite), strawberries & a strawberry pop-tart.  Coffee from 3030 Coffee, brewed via chemex.

Selling my canon 40D, 28mm f/1.8 USM lens, a vertical grip, and three batteries.  
All are in great condition, (I think I still have the lens box).   Hit me up if you are interested. $550/BO Body with grip and 3 batteries. $450 for the lens.  Buy both and Ill throw in a nice little camera bag thats never been used =]  Its been a great camera for me, and is really clean. Most of the stuff on my website was shot with this camera. You can tweet/text/phone/or email me.   

This weeks Photo 52 project features my friend Lauren, the owner of Two Little Birds Bakery in Paso Robles, CA.  (Long name, great backstory, but you’ll have to ask her about that.)  Between the awesomely large and tasty sticky bun I was fed during the shoot, and a very homey environment, this was definitely on of my favorite shoots to date.   

Granola with mixed berries, an orange, and coffee.  Tomorrow is the ‘big 50’ =]
Any breakfast suggestions?

This weeks photo 52 project features Ariel, owner of Bluebird Salon in San Luis Obispo.
Between a rocking staff, an upbeat studio, and creating some of the best cuts in town, Bluebird is definitely a trend setting shop in SLO.  

After shooting a few portraits in the actual shop, Ariel took me behind the shop to show me her personal little office/get away space.   Between the gorgeous natural light, and already being a comfortable place for her, it provided a great setting to make the portrait.  

If you or someone you know owns a small business, and would like to be a part of the project, please shoot me an email here.  You can follow the whole project on 500px.

Reid Cain was the subject of this weeks photo 52 project. He (and his dog Mavis) own a small, but very cool comic book and game store in San Luis Obispo.  Reid is also quite the artist, with lots of cool work lining the walls of the shop.  He has a passion for good art, and story and was a lot of fun to work with and get to know as we shot.  

If you, or someone you know owns a business, and would like to be a part of the project please email me, and well make it happen.  You can follow the full project here on 500px.

Thanks for reading, and have a good weekend.  

Best,
