Canadian Magazine Cover Of The Year Nomination
I just found out a cover I shot for Globe & Mail’s Report On Business Magazine was nominated for a National Magazine Award in Canada. Alas, since I’m not Canadian I couldn’t be nominated in the portrait category. Maybe if they knew I lived in Canada for a couple years and I got started in photography there that would change their minds. Either way thanks to Clare Jordan for hiring me to do this shoot and congratulations to everyone over at ROB Magazine. Good luck!
Joe Sullivan – Facebook CSO
As I mentioned in my Rebbeca Van Dyck post, I headed over to the new Facebook campus to photograph CSO (Chief Security Officer) Joe Sullivan for the cover of CSO Magazine.
I was hoping to get a shot that had a dark mysterious mood to it and after walking around Joe’s building in I knew I found my spot in this unfinished area. I felt like I was on an alien space ship with all the cables and tubes coming out of the ceiling. Of course, it could all be for the new Human Harvesting & Cloning Division of Facebook (Possible tag line: “Why does there only need to be one of you checking in to your favorite restaurant?”) Look for that feature in your Timeline soon.
Rebecca Van Dyck
Along with all the talk of Facebook’s pending IPO last week I had two of my own Facebook connections pop up. First, I was called to photograph Facebook’s CSO (Chief Security Officer) Joe Sullivan for an editorial cover shoot. And then, I read that Rebecca Van Dyck was just hired by Facebook to head up their marketing department. I photographed Rebecca a few month’s ago for AdWeek while she was still Levi’s Director of Marketing.
Mamiya 7II
Last summer I bought the much hyped and hard to get Fuji X100 camera as a little carry around camera. After using it I instantly determined that, while the files it produces are very nice, the camera itself is infuriating to use. As I noted on my trip to New York City, even though the X100 was with me everywhere I went, I used my iPhone instead.
