congestion

turns out it is not as easy to find producers to have my designs produced as i thought. perseverance is the key... i need to change my persuasion strategies i guess. i really don't know, this is a learning process. i'm sure i will do some stupid things that i'll regret along the way. dusting off and going on will be a better idea in that case. (yeah, i'm trying to convince myself more than you). is there a book on how to do business the right way? hihi... survival kit of the newbie businessperson. agg!

el productor

unfortunately i cannot yet provide a link for this activity i attended today, but it was a very nice and informative one (at least i can provide a link to the location). a certain bunch of lamp producers in a certain area (şişhane, to be specific) were discussed, and their future was envisioned, regarding design. it turned out that many of them don't yet care enough for design, which is not very surprising :) but it was really nice to see their production processes, philosophies etc. it was a tiring but nice experience to hear so many different ideas about lighting, which in my opinion, is a fantastic area. i left the building enlightened and content.

my rate of providing work might fall a bit, due to some upcoming trips, but i'll try to keep up;) until then, take care and if you can, swim a little bit...
