The Museum of Messages + acurator.com Blog

Today I received an email from Julie Grahame, founder of acurator.com, letting me know that she posted a few photos from The Museum of Messages onto her blog. =)

Since I have been designing, photographing and assisting professional photographers I have had little time to work on The Museum of Messages . If you visit that homepage you will get some free hugs.

acurator.com - photo website of the week

Last night I was reading PDN (Photo District News) magazine and I came across an article about a photo website called acurator.com. It is is a full screen magazine featuring photography and art, edited and published by Julie Grahame in New York.

Submissions are welcome. I just emailed some of my work to her. Maybe you or someone you know may be interested in doing the same?

Potato Digital - NYC Creative Studio

David Lawrence is a reputable product photographer in NYC that I assisted on a Ralph Lauren product shoot for Forbes magazine a month ago. His work is fabulous! I'd like to suggest viewing it at http://dalphotography.com/.

This afternoon David and I met at 71 Irving coffee shop to talk about collaborating on an idea he has started about offering quality photos at reasonable prices. This concept has turned into http://www.potatodigital.com/.

We were brainstorming about how Potato Digital can be different from the rest. Then thought to not only offer photo services but digital design services as well. For example, designing online and print marketing collateral (e-blasts, e-zines, mailers, brochures, etc) with the photos he shoots to help promote your business. This is possible because he has many years of professional photography experience and I have been a Graphic Designer for 10 years.

With Potato Digital creative services not only will you get quality photography but you also get colorful and creative designs to help bring your business to the next level.

What do you think of this concept?

Free Hugs in NYC - Photo Of The Week

This summer I was headed to Governor's Island off the tip of Battery Park in NYC to go to a 1920's Jazz Fest. While waiting for a friend in Union Square I saw this dude holding up a sign that said "Free Hugs". I laughed, pulled my camera out and captured this message that made me feel really good because I was having a bad day. I hope it will have the same effect on you.
