WOMEN TALKING BOUT GEAR N STUFF
WOMEN IN PHOTOGRAPHY/DESIGN/ADVERTISING
Julia Childs was a stubborn minded, elegant woman who was faced with the male dominated industry of chefdom. Fortunately for her brilliance and perseverance, she bulleted through that stigma and was deemed one of the most influential people in the culinary arts. Her feminine charm and warmth was a breath of fresh air that flipped the industry on its head.
One can’t help but notice a similarity in the photo industry although that is thankfully rapidly changing. We are now able to name more than 5 female assistants, female digital techs, etc. etc. This seminar is purely a discussion of how women have progressed in this field and where we stand now.
I decided to simplify and informally hold the seminar at my studio august 2nd and begin with a round table discussion. If this all works we can then plan more for future events of this nature. Thank you for your endless patience, this time its happening for real. please forward this email to any women who would be interested in attending.

FARMING IT!
This last weekend I went on a day trip visiting farms in Indiana learning the ins and outs of blueberry, corn and pig farming. I learned so frikkin much, I hope I can retain all of the information. The bus left Chicago from the Whit Hotel rain pouring down from all sides, I thought, this will be an experience indeed! The clouds opened up upon arrival at the Vandermolen Blueberry farm. Super blonde kids running amuck and the whole roasted pig was being cut for the lunch feast, piles of sweet corn steamed, blueberry deserts of all kinds being passed around. YUUUMM! Here are some photos!

MOTION CAPTURE MODELING
I kicked it, punched it, tackled it, elbowed it, shouldered it, showed it a little love then smacked it, slapped it, dodged it, slammed it, kneed it, killed it!
