Coming soon to a portfolio near you.

I have just completed the photography of all my projects that I have labored over from the past two and a half years. Bob Mescavage took my photos and although most of my classmates zigged and decided to go with the other photographer Doug Lloyd, I zagged and went with Bob. He is a really sweet guy and has two of the most beautiful huskies that compliment his gigantic barn studio nicely. I am pleased with my results, although I did have the aesthetics of Doug's photographs in my mind and I really tried to push that with Bob. To say the least he was a little resistant, but I knew the shots could be done so I kept pushing until I was happy with the result. I think thats what a lot of my peers were thrown off by. Yes, it is the photographer that makes a difference but they are going to do what they are comfortable with photographing, they have the skills to shoot other styles but it may not be their comfort zone and it's up to the art director to push them until they get what they want. Bob works kind of slow and I was getting a little antsy, but great works comes with great care so I was patient. My favorite shots are of the BP Annual Report and the Ioni store display. I have break out my covered wagon again tomorrow and haul it back to ye olde village of Marcellus where the fish are biting and the women stay in the kitchen to retrieve my photographs and then I will post their juicy goodness.
