professions

lately i've been fantasizing about all the jobs i would love to do, and i don't want to forget.

 LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER

inspiration: co-owning a cafe Aperitif with my mother, all the entrepreneurs in my family
more specifically: an event listing hosted by this company that offers crowd funding for local biz 
potential hold ups: legal nuances of crowd funding, what would my business be (not as important)?

 
APARTMENT TURNAROUND-ER
inspiration: mood boards, renovating the intern condo in Charlotte, meeting with the architect for the new Vergouniac, lots of pinterest
more specifically: this and this listing on Airbnb
potential hold ups: no education/know-how

 (reputed) FILM CRITIC

more specifically: the passing of Andrew Sarris - no, i didn't know of him before this
potential hold ups: no real background in journalism, oh and an absolute ignorance i/r/t film history

 Julia Pott.by gabriella cetrulo
ILLUSTRATOR/ANIMATOR

inspiration: being able to add spice to a film/documentary
more specifically: recently read articles on Gabriella Cetrulo and Julia Pott
potential hold ups:lack of knowledge in the technical, as of yet un-developed visual style


WAITRESS (in a french bistro)

inspiration: general folklore about this coming-of-age-stage profession, Paris, working at a concession stand as a child
more specifically: a Saturday brunch at Le Monde in Morningside Heights
potential hold ups: i think the hours would suck?  stress and not enough ca$h?
