It has been a long time since I posted.. I even missed out on telling everyone about Newsweek. If you still have the June 20th issue, check it out i have a photo in there. Well, we just got back from a trip to Iowa and Kansas City. Kind of a working vacation. I know that you are probably saying why would you want to take a vacation to those places. Besides it being extremely hot an humid, they are beautiful places to go. We went to Iowa first, for a trip to Clear Lake with Lisa's family. Of course it was fun. Lisa's dad has his new Cobalt boat and just recently got a new 3 person Seadoo. I had to break it it a little for him. Then off to Kansas City where lisa was invited to be one of the jury members for this next Plaza Art Fair. She had a great time jurying the show. She will be exhibiting her own work this September when the show is up. Here are a few photos from our last morning in Kansas City. I couldn't decide which window shot I liked so I posted them both. These were taken in th West bottoms of Kansas City.

PROJECT HELLO- SHOW IN PORTLAND
I almost forgot to post this. Here is the announcement to a show I am a part of in Portland. It is part of Project Hello. Project Hello, was about raising awareness/money for the homeless in different communities around the country. Photographers donated their time and supplies to go out and shoot photos of some of the homeless in their area. The idea behind the name tags were to give these people an identity, their identity. After all these are real people. It was a pretty amazing thing. To get to know a few of the homeless, and hear a little of their stories. It was really interesting doing the shoots. Once the people had their name written on these cards, it was almost instantly that people started looking at them differently. They had more people talking to them and actually started treating them like human beings. If you are out that way you should definitely check it out. There may be a book about the project coming out as well. I would like to give photo credit to the photographer of this image, but unfortunately I don't know who it is. Here is the info for the show.

ADS FOR BRECKENRIDGE BREWERY MAKE IT IN THE JUNE ISSUE OF PHOTO DISTRICT NEWS
Breckenridge Brewery
We are now starting to get some good press for the Ad campaign I shot for Breckenridge Brewery. It is in the "Behind The Lens" section of the June issue of PDN. Check it out if you get the chance. If you can't here are the photos and what the article said.
A CURE FOR WHAT ALES YOU
Miller and Budweiser can try to out-slick each other with their supermodel catfights posing as ads, but the microbreweries of the world have to rely on simpler (and cheaper) messaging. Far too often the results go down with all the fizz of a watery lager. But this elegant campaign for Breckenridge Brewery, shot by Denver photographer John Johnston for Cultivator Advertising & Design, takes a novel approach that works. Cultivator's Monte Mead says it's all about repositioning Breckenridge as a fine purveyor of handcrafted ales. Johnston placed the beer bottles on an old suitcase in his studio and printed directly from Polaroid negatives, which he then spliced together with tape. The scratched and distressed negatives lend an old fashioned look to the ads that connects with the brand's attributes. And all this was done on a micro budget. "We all got paid in beer," Mead says, "which isn't too bad because by the time you realize it you're too surly [ i.e. drunk] to care"

NEW BILLBOARD FOR FORD TRUCKS..
I just recenty finished a job for for Ford trucks. This will be on billboards in the San Francisco area. So if you are out there check it out.. or take a picture of it and send it to me. Unfortunately i rarely get to see billboard work, so it would be nice.
BACK FROM THE EAST COAST
Just got back from a couple of jobs. One for SMA the other for Boomer. The shoots went well but the weather was horrible. I ended up going to Philadelphia then to Boston. It seems that I planned my trip during one of the worst Nor Easter's in a while. So I didn't actually get to do anything.. Luckily the shoots were not outside, it was basically like being in a small Hurricane. I was planning on going out and getting some shots, but I ended up deciding that it really didn't seem like much fun. I am back now, and busy with more shoots. I should have some new work to update soon.
