Last week I was in New York for my first ever Advertising Week. Going into it, I really didn’t know what to expect from it all. I guess I pictured something similar in scope to SXSW but in the Big Apple. Boy, was I wrong. Now, having not grown up in the ranks of the [...] Read more »

First Best Camera Shots

Posted on September 25, 2009

I’ve been in New York for the past few days for Advertising Week. I made a decision not to bring my Canon 50D with me because I didn’t want the extra bulk. I figured anything I really wanted to take a picture of I could with my iPhone. Then a really cool thing happened. The [...] Read more »

Chasing Creativity

Posted on September 4, 2009

In the last few months, I discovered and became a big fan of photographer Chase Jarvis. I like his style, his approach and honestly his outlook on life. It is obvious that he and I approach life in a similar fashion and I think that is why what he does and says resonates with me [...] Read more »
