Smells Good

Creatively, Ive been pretty lucky in the last few years. My work has been exhibited, there was an article published about me and I even had a television interview. But a letter I received yesterday has just eclipsed all that.

A few years back our good friends Liessa and Chris were kind enough to let me photograph their kids wearing VINPIX. To this day the shot of Emerson in the VINPIX hat and shirt is a crowd pleaser, and of course Hannah is a natural and glows in the pictures.



The experience must have made an impression on my young models.
The three kids co-wrote a letter requesting my services again. I know they must be serious, they all signed it!!!



I think if the Queen of England herself called apon me, it would not come close to how special the kids' request is. So to Tess, Hannah and Emerson… It smells good to me too! I look forward to seeing you. Thanks for thinking of me.

Tech Art Invitation

As Tech Art draws near I can’t help but swim in appreciation of the talents and vision of everyone at the Science and Technology Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who will make the exhibit a sure success. I have to give a big thanks to
Brett Davidson who designed the overall look of the catalog that accompanies the exhibition. I’ve been very fortunate to be paired with such a brilliant layout artist.
