Hey, look at that!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

I had almost forgotten about being asked by moo.com to use my mini cards in their promotion of their new mini card frames. I won’t lie, it does give me a bit of a warm fuzzy to see my stuff popping up in places like moo.com and Midwest Living Magazine. It is certainly validating to know that others think it’s worth showcasing!

I highlighted the places my images appear in red and used some arrows on the thumbnail. Click the thumb to get a better look at the screenshot. And if you want to order some moo cards, go to http://www.moo.com! They really are great quality and great fun to hand out!

Update! I just noticed they’re on the front page slideshow nice and big, too!

Brandon’s Photo in Midwest Living Magazine!

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

I know some professional photographers are going to be angry about the content of this blog post, but hopefully not too many of them bother to read my little blog. Yes, I gave away an image to a publication for free. Obviously this lights a fire under pros who think they should be compensated for every shutter press. Ehhh… sorry? When it’s your kid and a magazine with a circulation of one million, I think you’d opt for the bragging rights. :)

Back in July the kids and I visited a very cool indoor play area in Chicago — Dayfrog! If you’re ever in Chicago, check it out with your kids. We enjoyed it so much that we spent two days of our visit there. While I was there I took some snapshots of the kids (shocking!).

The images weren’t great quality, just family snaps in low light, but I had a couple that were OK. A while back the owner e-mailed and asked if I would send him something for an upcoming article. Of course!

Here’s a photo of Brandon that accompanies their article in the December issue of Midwest Living Magazine! How cool is that? I’m supposed to receive a copy of the magazine soon. Brandon is trying not to let it go to his head. ;)
