The following is a reply that I have just emailed to a client regarding product photography. It is not a carefully crafted and planned essay more putting things in as they came to mind.

Here is a pic of a lump of wood. I thought it looked interesting and realize that I may be in a minority of one but just in case I’m not…….. At any rate, I have received a request for some posters of the Dunes and that was the reason for the shoot.

Took a stroll around Valparaiso University campus with the intention of taking some pictures for a small commission. The light wasn’t very cooperative so I will have to go back, probably at sun rise to get some dramatic shots.

The old Gary Bath house now called the Aquatorium is in the process of being rennovated. It sits on the Southern tip of the Lake Michigan shore, in Marquette Park, Miller Beach, Gary Indiana. This shot is of the upper level and the view across the lake is stunning.

One thing that I never really accounted for at the beginning of this project/distraction - the amount of time that I would  spend rolling up posters very tightly and putting them in condom like packets.

These are really cool. Bunny salt and pepper grinders that are operated by pushing the ears together. Added bonus- they are also fridge magnets. My wonderful wife picked these up while shopping this afternoon. She has never been known to walk past anything rabbity- ever.
