And a tearsheet from Family Circle Magazine:

summertime

Summertime. It's more about making photographs that blogging about them. There are many new images to share, both personal projects and client projects. There were warm southern beaches, and cool Canadian shores. There were dancers flying through the air, foggy sunrises on locations, Halloween in July, and drag queens dancing late into the night. For now, just a small sampling. It's still summertime.

Blue Cross Blue Shield, Do Groove

Just got a copy of the Do Groove guy posters I shot a few months back for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota. Learned some new dance moves from him ...

Here's a screengrab from the http://bluecrossmn.com, featuring another shot of Carol from our stills shoot. Visit http://do-groove.com/stories to hear Carol's inspirational weight loss story, and to see stills shot by Sara.

 

Sara's Images in Times Square

In April, I was commissioned by Minneapolis ad agency Carmichael Lynch to create 11 portraits for a joint project involving Martek Biosciences and The National Center for Creative Aging.  After a ten-city shoot, a PR event was held May 25, 2010 to launch the Beautiful Minds Campaign, with the photographs debuting on a giant jumbotron in Times Square and Martek executives ringing the NASDAQ Opening Bell. Here are some images of Times Square from that morning.

Do Groove, Blue Cross Blue Shield MN

I was hired to shoot stills on white, but the video set was so beautifully put together that my lens found its way over. We ended up shooting on both the video set and on my stills set, and ended up with a whole extra set of choices for the client. Some of the work is online at http://do-groove.com.

self reflection

Do I find them - or do they find me ?
