This is a photo project that I contributed to VASSARmagazine.com's December 2007 issue. I already had two of the pictures from years ago, but liked them so much that I decided to expand on that look and feel. The remaining four pictures were taken over the course of a week. Click on the photo to the left to see the complete project. Many thanks to my friends who gratiously contributed their time to this project: Xander Hirschi, Greg House, Chet Holowicki, David Brown, Joel Ortiz, and Todd Brownlie. This past summer, my friend Bob contacted me about a short film that he was working on and asked if I'd be interested in doing photo stills for it. I'd never done something like that before, but was pretty excited by the challenge.

A lot of the photos used in the press kits were ones that I took and my photos were also used in the menus of the DVD.
Vassar Magazine has a launch event coming up that is also a charity fundraiser for breast cancer research. Armed with a new button maker, I made these pink ribbon buttons to be distributed at the event. One of my photos was featured on the front page of Gaper's Block, a popular Chicago-based online publication. Click on the image to the right to see a larger screenshot of the front page with my photo on it or click here to see the archived image on their site. My sister got married this year and my present to her was that I made her wedding invitations. Click on the image to the right to see the various ideas that I came up with. They picked the first 2, one for each side of the family. I've contacted a few friends over the years about doing collaborations that combined my photos with their artwork. What I had in mind was that whatever they drew would interact with the setting of the photo and Chris Beverwyk captured that perfectly. The link below goes to his portfolio and you can also click on the image to see a larger version. This is the redesign I did for Jim Mahfood's online portfolio. The front page and section images were already done from when someone else started the project, but I started the layout from scratch in order to make navigation more intuitive. My goal was also to make a design where the section images can be swapped out from time to time in order to keep it fresh without having to redo the entire site.
