Personal work pays off. The creative Pin Up photo shoot we did at the end of o9 paved the way for success in 2010. A friend and a buddy that I served with back in the day, Dave saw the work online that we had created. He knew a custom motorcycle builder that needed a photographer for their Afghanistan Mission inspired motorcycle. So he showed them the work, they liked what they saw, they hired us and we got to create some cool stuff on location that was published in that spring in Revolution Magazine ( @revolutionmotorcyclemag ).
Andrea and I continued to work together photographing projects and doing private sessions throughout that year doing #PinUp and “Feel Good Sessions”.
I also graduated with a diploma in Graphic Design that really helped with enhancing my photographic offerings.
Speaking of Graphic Design, I had some skills but to be honest I am not a very good illustrator, so I asked Ana to help me to rebrand. Her and I had some great conversations. I offered up the unblinking eye of my youth which was my Dad’s Ansco camera to be the base of the design. Ana then rocked it and created the logo that people loved, I did a little bit of lettering and colouring and boom the first logo was born! Thank you Ana!
p.s. The last picture is from when I was brought on board to help Daryl Bonar’s run for mayor as the staff photographer. Doing this kind of work expanded our service offerings and connected me with some real excellent people that I still work together with today.
p.p.s I am amazed got the midflight noise from our flight edited down and out of the audio track. 🤟😃
