new work
It’s been almost a month
I’ve been busy but in truth, I’ve been ignoring you. I admit it. I could have stopped in a dozen times in the three or four weeks to post updates but I didn’t. I didn’t do this with the intention of hurting anyone’s feelings. I’m just pre-occupied with other matters and always, at the bottom of the list, was here.
That’s terrible and I apologize for that. So, what the heck have I been doing for the last month. Well, here’s a quick roundup.
This particular shot (and a few others like it) for JSID had me meeting three members of LGH’s security team. Once it was clear that I was shooting there for no nefarious purpose, I continued. This is the beautiful new Downtown Pavillion at LGH. Gallery here.
I’ve been shooting the ongoing sidewalk renovation around Penn Square for JSID. This is one of many shots from the work taking place there. It’s not really that exciting, if you’re interested, peruse the JSID galleries for more details.
Thanks for JSID. It seems all the work in the last month has been for them. This was a really fun night. I was asked to shoot some city porchlights for an upcoming publication. It was a blast and I think we got some great shots from the evening. The complete gallery is here.
Shot for an upcoming JSID publication. Shopping in downtown. We got some nice stuff and our volunteer models really delivered. The full gallery is here.
One shot from a recent MeetUp photowalk I attended. I met some amazing people and had a lot of fun. If you don’t participate in there but have ever wanted to, what are waiting for? The full gallery is here.
Shoot for visual comedian, Pete Geist. Geist is a genius at what he does. This shoot was a blast and to show you how enthusiastic I was during the shoot, in one hour we shot over 700 frames. Check out the whole gallery here (if you have the time).
Hempfield Softball for Schwanger Bros. It was cold. Really cold. Entire galleries here and here.
Identity
Joe Mitchell, the man behind College Row’s European Eyeware brought me in to do some product and identity work. I think the results came out quite nice.
Before European Eyeware opened Joe was involved with Olde Towne opticians on Duke Street and it was there that I met him as a loyal customer. Joe’s work is top shelf. His attention to detail and knowledge in fitting you is second to none. Perhaps as important, European Eyeware carries frames that no one else in the area does. The quality and uniqueness of the products European Eyeware have made me a committed customer long before I had the pleasure to work with them. All of which is to say, if you need glasses, go see Joe. You’ll get better, much more stylish and durable frames, personalized service and it won’t cost more than the “chain stores” and doctor’s offices charge. What more could you ask for?
On the road-Chicago
I flew to Detroit. DC and NYC are reasonably short regional drives at under three hours each way. Chicago, on the other hand, was eleven hours. If you count Indiana it was eleven hours and a lifetime. And with that said, the weather in Chicago was unusually beautiful. The day of the event it was in the low sixties with a perfect blue sky, in February, in Chicago. Amazing.
The Prius Connection in Chicago was the largest attended by over two hundred guests. The River East Arts Plaza was a beautiful venue.
One word; Indiana
On the road-Manhattan
Prius Connection Manhattan was appropirately ensconced in the Skylight Gallery in Tribeca.
On the road-Washington D.C.
A mere stones throw from the White House is the Ronald Reagan Building on Pennsylvania Avenue. The atrium was the venue for the D.C. Prius Connection and it made a wonderfully dramatic backdrop for the gathering.
On the road-Detroit, day two
Second day in Detroit attending the rollout of the 2010 Prius. A press conference at midday with a private video feed and a gormet lunch. A free afternoon but that evening, the big event at the Avery Fischer Music Center, when we actually got to see the new Prius.
Dawn in Detroit
The press conference begins
And the inevitable post press conference discussions of what we learned
And then it was time for the evening event…
Yes, when we arrived the three Priuses there were under sheets. Red sheets.
Which were dramatically removed at the appropriate time
The entire group (minus yours truly who is standing on a ladder taking this shot)
On the road-Detroit
In the last month I’ve been to Detroit, Washington D.C., Manhattan and Chicago attending (and shooting) Toyota’s rollout of the third generation Prius to come out later this year.
Here is the first chapter from way back in the middle of January. I spent a day in Detroit (and two nights) seeing the new 2010 Prius and of course, shooting a lot of images. Below are the galleries from Detroit. See all the pictures from the “Getting There” gallery at Smugmug by clicking here.
Welcome reception the first evening…
Prius trivia game (with uber-nerdy and nifty prize of a 2gig jump drive in a bamboo housing)
