I had the pleasure to work with the good folks at Agency Access and talk through organizing a portfolio on multiple platforms and how they should work together in print and web.
2012 Summer Internship Prep – Brainstorming
March 5th, 2012
**** UPDATE 4/17/2012 *** Due to travel schedule, we will be offering a FALL internship and not a SUMMER internship. Stay tuned to blog for more info.
I am honored to have multiple emails a week asking about possible internships. After two successful internships in 2010 and skipping last summer, I am considering one this summer for 1 or 2 students. I want to start the process with some brainstorming. I’m interested to hear what could make for a great experience. As of now, I’m thinking it can be an internship that is not just with me, but also with the creatives I am surrounded by in my office; photo, motion, video editing, web, audio and styling.
Lets get the conversation going and I will use these suggested to build a (hopefully) dynamic internship program for this summer.

January 11th, 2012
There are very few jobs where I feel as proud of as I do this one. One of my very best friends, Jesse Isenberg, owner and head craftsman at The Stinson Company, launched his new brand and website today and I had the honor of directing and shooting his video with our Check The Gate Films team.
The inspiration for this film was to offer a glimpse into what takes place behind the scenes at Stinson, highlighting an emphasis on authentic, hand-crafted elements fused with the most innovative technology and equipment. The film was shot over the course of one evening, using a single incandescent clamp light ($8) we bought at The Home Depot.
