Talk about full service!

The other day, we treated our friends from Dunkin’ and from Hill Holliday to a little surprise. As a spring “thank you” we hired a professional car detailing service to be here in the studio parking lot all day. Clients, agency, and crew all went home at the end of the day with a nice shiny car, inside and out. Yay!

My thanks to Mike and Eric from Amazing Auto Detailing who did a great job!

Twilight at Ashmont Station

I’ve been doing some evening shots around our T station, during that time when the light is failing but it’s not quite night. Although it’s a very busy place, it also has a quiet and mysterious side.

Death Valley Bike Adventure

Jim — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:28:55 +0000

In between busy shoot days; Jim has been gearing up for an amazing adventure cycling below sea level in Death Valley, CA. Jim’s bike was shipped last week and is waiting for him in Nevada. Cycling through this intriguing and mystic landscape he will cover 267 miles in 5 days of riding. Along the way, the course will wind and dive from high elevations of +11,049 to extreme low points of -282 miles below sea level… the lowest point in North America!

They say the moonlight dances across the stark desert canvas and the milky way looks so close you could touch it. Here is an interactive map, Jim created highlighting the route: DeathValley Trip GPS

We’ll do our best to keep you updated along the way!

First Night’s best ice sculpture was a food piece!

First Night is a New Year’s Eve celebration we have here in Boston. That night my wife and I took a walk around to look at all the festivities, and the ice sculptures that artists had built around downtown. My absolute favorite was this one on Tremont Street next to the Common:

Here’s a detail of the various things that were embedded into the blocks of ice:

Something different: my shoot for the Epiphany School

Jim — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 12:07:05 +0000

Earlier this summer I did a pro bono project for the Epiphany School, an independent Christian school for disadvantaged kids in Dorchester. They’re close to the studio, and we’ve been donating excess food from our shoots to them for some time. I spent four days with them and worked with Alicia Pritt of Theory One Design. Here’s the cover of their annual report, and a sample spread.

Getting back to on-the-go hand-held people photography, a genre where I began my career, was refreshing. More than this, I felt a huge amount of excitement and respect for what was going on in these classrooms. You could see these kids were learning how to be successful!
