Screen grabs from the online version of Viv Magazine. I did the editorial shoot for them a couple months ago at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the San Carlos Airport. At the airport I was offered to hold up all take offs and landing traffic if we wanted to shoot on the runway. Being someone who hates flying, I didn’t want to potentially hold anyone up from a safe landing, so I opted to shoot somewhere other than the runway.
Bigger: A little
Better: That’s subjective (but I think so)
Faster: Maybe
More: Yep
The new website is up and running.

Photo Editors, Art Directors and anyone with an email address at your magazine or agency (thanks for the feedback Bob the Janitor), get your SPAM filters ready! Once my new website design is up I’ll be sending out my first promo for the new site. My old Livebooks site has been upgraded and I now have larger images with the old design. I’m still in the process of resizing my images for the new site so there’s a mixture of old and new. The new design should be live sometime this week or early next week.
To date I’ve been doing my own design work, so I hope you like the new site (and promo piece). I think for the next round of revisions and promos I’ll be seeking professional help… and a designer.
I realized today there is a point where you may just drive your assistant crazy. Here is the moment I drove friend and assistant Emily Merrill to the breaking point on an editorial shoot.

And, here is Emily doing her best ”I’m a model and I can contort my body into weird positions for no apparent reason whatsoever” pose.

If you feel bad for Emily, having to put up with me, and happen to need (or know someone who needs) a wedding photographer you should check out her great new wedding website here: http://www.emmyjeannephotography.com/

Here’s one more for the revival of film. The folks over at The Impossible Project are in the process of bringing back Polaroid film. Here’s to hoping they’ll have something like Type-55.
Head over to their website and show your support:
