There is a ton of information at our disposal. With the expansive world wide web, I feel as though my marketing dollars drain and I really don't understand if I'm reaching my target audience. I decided to research a few of those "deal" companies that are hot right now to see if that would be a beneficial means to market. -well it is. Buy With Me for instance, is like gauraunteed advertising. They run a promotion that you build with their sales team, for one week reaching tens of thousands of people. Some people will be intrigued and purchase the deal, some won't, but your ad is being seen. The merchant has nothing to lose. 2 weeks after the deal closes, Buy With Me cuts a check for the merchant's agreed upon percentage, and the the merch has to manage their booked up calendar! -it's win win!!

These are confused economic times that we live, and require creative business decisions. Here's a promotion that I'm running with my wedding photography agency Lovebirds.

Usually my photo-energy is taken up in a shooting a job or a project, and I rarely just take pictures for fun anymore. So last evening I took my dog and camera for a walk and was mystified by this beautiful scene from Buena Vista Park as the sun was setting..




I also revisited a place that inspired me to make a picture a couple years ago about a girl saying goodbye to religion. There's something about this place: a rickety old church that hundreds of people pass everyday as they take the train to and from.. How often it changes from quiet and calm to busy and transit.. the way these trees have been blown crooked by a lifetime of wind.. It captivates me. I've enjoyed many a cup of coffee sitting here watching how this area changes throughout the days and nights.

Some product shots of that Skinny Girl Margarita bottle I did a while back are surfacing.
