Dorrance Scholarship Program- 15th Anniversary Annual Report

For their 15th Anniversary Annual Report the Dorrance Scholarship Program wanted to do something special, profile past recipients. We started in September with a test shoot in Seattle, and after mid November shoots in Tucson and Phoenix we spent a week traveling between Brooklyn, Atlanta, San Diego and Berkeley. It was a great experience getting to spend some time with each of these amazing individuals. Thanks to Jane Bock of 12Below and Jim Hensley, Executive Director of DSP, for bringing us in to create the imagery for the report.

Client Meeting

We had a client meeting this morning at Lux in downtown Phoenix. Fun being showered with the “skin” of the coffee beans. Still finding them in my hair. Made for a cool image.

Slip...aaahs!!!

Longtime client SkyMall contacted us to shoot the Hawaiian Jellys that were used on this cover for Delta Airlines. We shot the shoes and they were dropped into this tropical background. Maybe you’ve seen it in your travels??

Scottsdale Six

Continuation of my series of urban infrastructure and landscapes. This drive-in closed about 2.5 years ago. Land owners and theatre owner couldn’t come to terms on a new lease. I only went once in the 30 years I’ve lived here. Wish I could remember which movies I saw. I do remember they were still using the speakers that you hung over your car window. Will definitely head back over there soon to create more images.
