Shout outs

Greetings everyone, and happy October! Halloween is on its way, and you know what that means – it’s a bad time to go on a diet!

I have to say that I love this time of year – the weather changes (except in The Bay Area, where it’s pretty much the same all the time), leaves change color (except in The Bay Area, where we really don’t have very many deciduous trees), and everyone hunkers down and watches football on the weekends (except in The Bay Area where everyone is outside, and doesn’t pay much attention to football).

The other thing that happens is that the holiday craziness in the studio subsides to a dull roar, making way for fun projects like the gig we did for Cost Plus World Market PR last week. I love shoots that are collaborative, creative and fun. It’s as though the whole team can feel it too – and I must say that I work with one of the greatest teams in all of photography. It is truly enjoyable when everyone feels part of the process, and it makes my job very rewarding.

So, after a long holiday season, a big shout out to Sid, Bronwyn, Elena, Doug, James, Gillian, Caroline, Allen, Ching, and everyone else that comes in and out of our shoots. Thank you! You all are the best.

Also, a big shout out to another integral, but missing member of the team. Todd is off to Tokyo for the month, teaching Yoga. (Although he’ll never see this since I know he doesn’t have internet in his 8 tatami apartment, and is too afraid to go the internet café to check his emails). Good luck Todd, we miss you – and work on those biking skills while you’re gone!
