In between finishing a Loeb Fellowship at Harvard and beginning an Annen-berg Fellowship at the University of Southern California, Edward Lifson took a tour of “the train,” Chicago’s Margot and Harold Schiff Residences. Lifson, a former Chicago Public Radio host, likes to write stories about modern architecture’s use of light, space, and materials, but what he found at the Helmut Jahn project trumped all of that: people just grateful to be given a chance to have a home.

I am Emily. I am an employee at VIP Sage currently working in Sydney, Australia. I am from Albury and I did my education over there itself. I love beautiful things, love to have fun in the moment and am always dreaming bigger! Friends and family are super important to me. I am chirpy, fun and I like spontaneity and good grammar. I love to write...I mean really really love to write and barely go a day without doing it in some way...I am a very passionate person and so often am too full on for some people. I am fascinated with human interaction and computer mediated communication and why people do the things they do. I collect typewriters, enjoy philosophical conversations and star gazing. I have a tendency of sometimes being quite negative, this is something I am working on slowly, I try to accept people in spite of the things that I dislike about them as I'm sure they do for me for which I am deeply grateful. I have a lust for all things great in this world, great food, great friends and great adventures. I am spontaneous, social, and adorable.

Businessmen talk money. You can’t judge them, because they worked a lot to build their life in the way it is. The process of the opening of a new business, especially when the niche is already divided by several rivals, always coexists with risks and significant financial sums given away. Looking for the money to make the startup happen can be very difficult, especially for a young entrepreneur. This is why getting a grant or at least a loan from one or several future business partners may be your lucky chance if your business development will be mutually profitable. Damage photo restoration does not create a new beginning: this area is already filled up with both massive companies, which present themselves as the only ones, which are able of doing it well and with freelancers, who seek to make their money in offering something twice or three times cheaper than those companies. This may work for a while, but sooner or later people find out the cheap on some amateur platforms does not always stand for better in quality part. Our team has been known for several years already and we always keep our financial reports with great accuracy. We have a stable amount of new clients coming to us every month and a certain amount of the regulars, who value us and who do not go anywhere else. This means, that our studio is trusted and we do our job well. Our schedules are full with the most various image manipulation orders a company can get. We do our tasks in time, with pleasure. And the photo shooters we’ve been dealing with can tell you that our style is very flexible though careful and thoroughly detailed. When you ask someone to name the most known retouch studios, you will hear our name and this makes us proud. While we have proven our loyalties to our colleagues in the photography sphere, but still we do not wish to stop developing with things we have got. On a contrary, we dream to expand our client circles, hire a couple of talented retouchers to enlarge the staff and to make our income bigger than some may dream of. Of course, we understand that a loan is more credible for any company or a person, who volunteers to give us money because eventually they will have their money back one way or another. And have no doubt that we have resources to pay you back anytime. But with your money we can open more offices with the up-to-date equipment for our employees and make them feel comfortable in soft chairs with tea or coffee to get some stimulation. A loan is not someone dreams off, although we ensure you with our best judgment that percent you can get from us is not the biggest profit you will have, as you shall have us by your side with mutual advertisement and a lot of respect. There are no extra acquaintances when you seek for expanding your business and dream to see it rises more and more. We shall present you to our photographer colleagues, who may interest you in making photos not only for your business of any kind, but for personal matters as well. But we will not deny, that we hope to get a grant even more than a loan. A grant may consist of many things: money in cash, in check, on a card, some equipment, may be some raw materials, assistance in any kinds of way, new ideas, that are still not present on the market much. We hope to get collaboration work flawlessly with new pieces of furniture, or programs of the latest appearance, or anything else. We also have to clarify, that grant is not refundable, while loans are. But those who help us now shall get something profitable from us in the future even if we do not handle them money back right away. Contacts, colleagues, free ads, new ideas in exchange, there will be something because we know how to be grateful. Further development is often a difficult question for many enterprises, this is why we offer you to give us a helping hand now with financial question and get a helping hand in other or even in the same matter after, when you need it. We understand, that in order to do it, we must prove, that we are worthy – so google, read reviews everywhere, study our financial records – we are doing good and we are not going to stop whatever happens. Your assistance should be deserved, so study our retouch jobs and decide whether it is really good or do you think quite opposite. We know we definitely deserve attention and we know how to get if very well. If you are in need of attention in any sphere, you should come to us and we will show you the best results. Talk to us if you are not convinced – we know what our aim is and we are ready to do everything to achieve it. Let us show ourselves, help us become better and you will see how the business thrives and wins with your own eyes! Minor reliefs are also good because they let us to change the way things are at some local points, but bigger sums will let us show the world the difference between “it’s okay” retouch and the “wow” one. We know that today even government can give a grant to some company, but right now they are more concerned with society, with feminism issues and other ones like that. So think about helping us, about working with us in the future, about being one of the key persons, who builds the future they want to see. We do care for the foreign funds just as much as for the ones in our country because we have several reliable companionships across the ocean and we will gladly extend their amount. Your area doesn’t even matter, because photography and retouch are connected directly to the media and always will be of great use for everyone.
