Why the handle change? Hoodie incident for you, too?

Hey man. Good to hear you landed on your feet.

Congrats on the steady pay check gig.

Been thinking about branching out into product photography myself.

Haven't spent much quality time here lately, but I know my fan base is praying for fewer marriages and more job hopping.

So I took another job after a couple years freelancing (sleeping until noon, showering around 6 and then starting my day) at an ad agency and it's everything I remembered hating about working closely with others: Office politics, lots of whispering, cupcakes all the ****ing time (which were paired with free ice cream today - UGH. Right after lunch and everyone goes running like they haven't eaten in days), and a pool of incompetent junior designers.

And it's hot as **** here and not sure why I still live in Phoenix.

How's your summer going?

should change name to don draper.

Interesting approach, location shooting, hmmm. I've mainly been thinking about tabletop shooting out of my studio since it's open to the public and easily accessible.

I bought a set of Alien Bees over the winter and have been playing around with them. The original intention was to photograph my own work.

How are you T? You settled in CO?

Life is very conventional, for better or worse.

I thought I smelled something in here. Those are all the things I love about my place of work.

Good to hear things are working out!
I have to admit, I miss Phoenix at times although it's nice to be on the East Coast for a change.

Nice work AMS. I wouldn't even have to create fake shadows.

Thanks dude. I watched a product photography tutorial on youtube that showed how to create a PSD file with the subject on a pure white background for catalogue shots and a separate layer with the actual in camera shadow. Gives the graphic designer the option of using a shadow or not, without having to work it in Photoshop.

Things have been up and down over the years, but there's nothing I'd rather be doing than playing with typography and images on a nice Mac until I can retire on a golf course.

Where did you get stationed and how is military life?

Connecticut.
Military life is interesting. Boot camp seemed daunting while I was there, pretty easy now that I look back on it. Its such a 180 from civilian life. It has its moments of awesome and suck.
I can iron, fold, and make a rack like nobody's business now :thumb:

You doing sub stuff? You know what they say about submariners...100 men go to sea...50 couples come back.

Ah, that joke never gets old...One of the first things a surly Petty Officer told me in Boot.

What boat are you attached to? I have a friend from my last assignment who left just before me to take the Florida...I think.
