Free Film
Want some free film? Sure, it’s expired, but it’s been refrigerated. I was visiting mom for Mother’s Day and noticed a bag in the back of her fridge that had a container full of film. Quite a bit of it actually. So if you want it all this is what you’ve got to do: First you’ve got to retweet my tweet. Then follow me on Tumblr. Not on Tumblr? Well then you can “like” my Facebook page. Want to increase your chance of getting the film? Then do all three! I know, I’m demanding… but look what you’re getting:
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!
Larry Kurzweil & Bart Simpson
I got to head down to Universal Studios Hollywood a while back to photograph the President of Universal Studios, Larry Kurzweil for Carnegie Mellon’s alumni magazine. The one requirement, not imposed by the magazine, was that one of the Simpson’s characters had to be in the shot. Universal PR was insisting on this one point and the magazine was ok with it so I obliged. The studio originally wanted Homer in the shot but the costumes are so enormous in real life that Larry was dwarfed next to Homer, so we went with Bart.
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.
