Here’s a quick banner that I was asked to do. I like these little ads - seems like they all need just a little bit more design attention since they are so small. I grabbed the coins from the U.S. Mint to get some high quality images. Looks great over the flat color background.

This promo congratulates Memorial Children’s Hospital and HEART at this year’s Tux and Tennies gala. My coordinator asked to insert a photo of a basketball but I decided to composite an image together to meld the idea of the event. Here is the image in the actual promo:

Here is our video for the Houston Chronicle’s Real Estate Team.

Sue Ann Tinsley and her staff at One Park Place were extremely gracious in letting us shoot our video in their resident recreation room. This picture here really doesn’t do it justice — it’s a gorgeous room with great views of Discovery Green. Thank you to Sue Ann and the Finger Companies!

Rodolfo and I shot two subjects this morning. I’m using miniDV and Rodolfo shooting high-def on his 5D Mark II. This is in a series of shoots for the Houston Chronicle - Real Estate.

Stephanie Rutgers asked me to represent Hawaii Preparatory Academy at the Private School Preview in Houston. About 100 schools were represented - mostly local schools. But it was nice to see HPA on the mix!

I went to the fashion show at the Galleria to help out with the Houston Chronicle.

Another test

Ho hum. Another labor day. Testing out another iPhone blog app. Text only.

So Trini was showing me how to take photos with a Holga. It takes the 120 film but you can go ahead and reel in a 35mm film into the camera. Since the 120 is bigger than the 35mm the camera exposes the entire depth of the film stock. The width is larger as well.

Here is a scan of one of the shots.

100 ASA Kodak Gold (about 4 years old before it was used)

We’re gonna shoot the next video on HD. Here I am testing the audio at my desk.
