working from home has it's pluses and minuses..
i recently joined 6 other creatives in a co-op space on the tenth floor of the allied crafts building in downtown los angeles. now on a daily basis i can actually see and talk to other human beings. by sharing our new 1600 sq foot space we're all hoping to network, bounce ideas around, collaborate and, most importantly, conduct our own personal businesses in a space outside of our homes.
pluses... i make my own schedule (provided that i'm not shooting that day),
the commute is amazing and i don't have to deal with day to day office politics or gossip. unfortunately, the minuses include being alone all day.. everyday (provided that i'm not shooting), no one around to bounce ideas off of, too many trips to the kitchen and no "water cooler" encounters.
now insert... the best of both worlds.

each member in our studio will have enough room for an office set up and we are in the process of creating a common area and a kitchen area where we can relax, socialize and also meet with clients.
so far the group consists of: 2 photographers, 2 film editors, 1 graffic designer, possibly a writer and possibly someone else.
check out the beginning stage of our collective and our rooftop view of los angeles.
