Toddlers & Tiaras

photo

A few weeks back I was asked by The Daily to cover the filming of an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras where one of their writers would be embedded as a guest judge. It was an interesting experience to say the least. The story was published today and is definitely worth a read and also includes a . It’s cheeky and in general follows the same sentiment I had towards the whole experience. The author, Rich Juzwiak, has the longer unedited version on his blog as well. My take on it is here. After the jump are some of the images that didn’t run in the final version.

What do you think about child beauty pageants and the T.V. show?


Bacardi Party Types

emotional

A couple weeks ago I did a shoot with digital agency nFusion for Bacardi Silver  at my studio. We were photographing your typical partygoers so Facebook users could then tag their friends who fit the descriptions on Facebook. This first one of the overly emotional chick is my favorite. See the rest after the jump and tag your friends here.


Southwest Airlines Military Salute

SWA - ADV11128 - Military  copy

A couple months back I shot a portrait of 4 Southwest Airlines employees for GSD&M. Southwest wanted to highlight how important former and currently serving military men and women are to their workforce, so we grabbed one from each branch of the military. I got word yesterday that the portrait is now showing up on materials on the planes now. Look out for it on your next flight!


The University of Texas at Austin

Main Building

128 years ago today the University of Texas campus opened for business. One of my favorite things about attending the university was the plethora of beautiful buildings to study in. The mixture of Beaux-Arts and modern architecture made for an enjoyable campus environment.

If you’ve ever been interested in learning more about the campus, you’re in luck. Our very own Casey  Dunn recently finished photographing a historical campus guide for Princeton Architectural Press. It includes some in-depth history and information about the buildings and layout and of course a ton of Casey’s beautiful photographs. Pick up a copy at your local bookstore (or Amazon) today.

In less than one month’s time a group of us from PUBLIC SCHOOL will be venturing up to the Windy City for a show hosted by The Post Family. Friday, September 9th from 6-10PM we will be displaying a selection of personal work titled Homework in the Family Room of The Post Family’s rad studio space in downtown Chicago. It’ll be a night of Northerner/Southerner mixing, merryment and creative chatting. The detailed details can be found here. Mark your calendars and get ready for some good times.
