Congratulations Shannon and Drew.

Photoshoot

At the shop last Friday, I shot photos to promote our modest line of Fall tees. Brett, one of our sales reps, and Chikara's friend Christine, kindly volunteered to model for us. Overall the shoot went well and I'm happy with the outcome.

Since I had my lights and backdrop setup, Drew and I took the opportunity to do a little experimenting. So many possibilities with external lights...

Happy Birthday Stare-face!!!

Bizzy

Things have been pretty busy for me the past month or so. It feels like I'm in meetings every other hour during the week, which makes it difficulty for me to get anything done. I pretty much need an hour just to get started. Rather than actually being able to sit down and DO work, I sit down and TALK about doing work for one project, and then talk about doing work for another project. Today however, was an exception since I had no meetings. I wonder if it had anything to do with my today being my birthday, or if it was just a coincidence.

We're (mostly Drew) also still busy photographing all of the work we're going to launch the new Hornall Anderson sight with. Shooting work for 40+ projects has been quite a challenge, but I learned a lot from this experience, especially why photographers have so many assistants.

Hot in the House

We launched part of a minisite for T-Mobile showing off their new Hot Spot @ Home capabilities, which I must say, is pretty damn cool. Every wireless carrier should offer it's customers something like this. I didn't work on this project myself, but I wanted to point it out because I thought Drew, Matt, Halli and Rachel did a very nice good job of explaining just what T-Mobile's new service is.

QBN Sessions

Adrien, Joe and I will be going to down to LA for QBN Sessions. Newstoday is actually a major contributing factor for how we—Adrien, Joe, Drew, Jason and I—all met four or five years ago. Since then we've all worked together in some form or another and it's always been on projects that I've enjoyed not necessarily because the work itself was fun—although there certainly has been plenty of fun projects—but because I got to work with them.

So we're going to be making a 4 day trip down to LA for the event. Hopefully we'll see something inspiring, and hopefully make some new friendships that are just as fruitfull as our first QBN event.

Pup!

Mad Hectic

After a hectic couple of weeks, Drew, Joe and I went up to the market for lunch to relax. Two huge projects with essentially the same deadlines really makes you focus.
