Hello! My name is Lauren. What you need to know: Recent graduate, lover of all things organized and art history extraordinaire. I love interacting with interesting people and taking pictures makes me incredibly happpy. I also firmly believe that an ice cold Pepsi can solve anything. What you’ll find here: photography mixed with a little design.Tumblr (3.0; @laurenelarsen)http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m04mk4ddxA1qccys3o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m04mk4ddxA1qccys3o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>One of my very first job assignments was to write an article about model railroading for Hobby Outlook - an online hobby focused publication. I’ve never built a layout myself, but I admire the people that do. The science behind it is propelled by more than just the idea of a train on a track. It is based on so many different things. I always find that I am enamored by the scenery - I find it charming and can’t resist taking hundreds of photos.  I suppose I’ve filled far too many memory cards hoping to catch a train at the right moment. </p> <p>I don’t know if I’ll ever have the patience to build one, but I tip my hat to those that have.</p>http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/post/18460741766http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/post/18460741766Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:28:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnzboxMiJZ1qccys3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>HTU Convention 2011 book.</p> <p>Turned out pretty nice.</p>http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/post/7352977674http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/post/7352977674Thu, 07 Jul 2011 16:02:56 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnnyphLHrV1qccys3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>DG Baby Shower! </p>http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/post/7123861328http://laurenelarsen.tumblr.com/post/7123861328Fri, 01 Jul 2011 12:48:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_li4bojBJKL1qccys3o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Worked on the Nebraska ADDY’s 2011 event planning team.
