Antarctic, Patagonia and Buenos Aires Trip

View across the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia, Argentina

Penguins are every bit as cute as you guessed

In late January, my wife Lara and I, went on a trip of a lifetime.  We went to Antarctica, Patagonia and Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Needless to say, it was amazing. Everything we saw was on a scale I have not experienced before.  And, in a place generally thought of as barren, there was wildlife everywhere. 

Have a look at some of my favorite images from the trip.

Back in the Heart of the South!

We're Back in Atlanta!

After four glorious years in Austin, my wife, Lara, and I decided to simplify our lives and move back to our house in the North Georgia mountains.  It looks like we made it just in time for two snows and several really deep freezes.  

We are really excited to be back, getting the house in shape, shooting a few jobs and enjoying our new life. The new life will be including more time together, targeted assignments, more travel and cooking for anyone we can get to come up to the house to enjoy it!

All our friends in Austin are missed, but they have assured us they will come to visit.  

Here are a couple examples from the recent snow!  Not much by midwest or northeast standards, but not bad for us down here in the South.  Just enough to be pretty and not loose power.

Cat Herding, Part Three-Brand Awareness

Well, it's been a great ride.  Here is the third installment of my Cat Herding Series.   This was so much fun to work with such unwilling subjects.  

This all started with me trying send some specific messages to potential clients about my understanding of their needs.  With branding being the buzz word of the day, it needed to be addressed.  What better play on words than to actually use a branding iron for the connection.

The copy that Lara Lowman, my wonderful wife, wrote for all of the segments works so well, with this last one being no exception.  Here is a link to the whole piece, if you didn't get it.  

By the way, we really didn't actually brand these little guys, Photoshop did it.

Cat Herding #2

Here we are with our second image from the Cat Herding series.  As you can see, the world of cat herding can be pretty dirty and exhausting, particularly when it is a 100 degrees.  But despite the challenges it is rewarding as you can see by the expression on Monica's face.  Job well done!

We are feeling blessed that those hot days are passed and it actually cool at night these days.

Tomorrow shooting some portraits for a consulting firm and, if you can believe it more CATS!  This time for the Austin Humane Society's new calendar.  Then off to Atlanta to shoot for IDI and Cousins Properties.
