Friday night was The 2009 San Diego Creative Show. It was great to catch up with old friends and meet some new friends. All the work again this year was great! And the good news is I won Bronze for the 2 series I entered. One was for the work I did for the Port of San Diego last year and the other was for the ongoing ADDY Contender’s series.
ADDY Contenders:
Mark Albertazzi, Rich Badami, Myle McGuiness, and Barry Whifield
Port of San Diego
I’m working on a personal project documenting the overhaul of the Alan G. Tugboat at Pacific Tugs down at the Port of San Diego. It’s a great continuation of the Blue Collar Workers themes I’ve been working on for the last few years. Here are a few of the highlights so far:
I’ve been doing some work for The Tilted Kilt here in downtown San Diego. So in addition to shooting a number of scenarios for Ads and Collateral I did some portraits of some of the girls. The lighting turned out a little harsher than what I wanted for this first series, but I really like a how these 4 turned out. We’ll see how the next batch turns out…Thanks to everyone at the Kilt. They’re a great bunch of people to work with!

I was contacted by Wonderful Machine a few weeks back to see if I was interested in joining forces with them as my Rep. It’s an interesting relationship and I am looking forward to exploring the possibilities. They’ve got an awesome stable of talent and a great aesthetic.
Hooray collaboration!
It’s been several months now since I was immersed in taking a picture every day, striving for One Great Image every 24 hour cycle. I kept it up for abut a week and a half into 2009 out of sheer habit, I think. But then something quirky happened that I didn’t have a “usable” image so I stopped. Just like that…. and It Was, just like that. I was surprised how quickly and easily it was over.
And now the big show at Subtext has had it’s run. It was a great success with great exposure. I’m continuing to put the show out there where appropriate and am looking for more opportunities. 366 | 08 will always live here, but it’s time to move on to new and exciting things!
Thanks to everyone for all their words and posts of encouragement along the way.
Well we had a packed crowd for the opening of 366 | 08 at Subtext on Friday night. A great turnout and an even better vibe. Everyone seemed to love the show, the music, and Subtext’s new space. But there was a point on Thursday night and early Friday morning when I wasn’t sure what to expect for the Opening.
Subtext has a great post with some pix of us getting ready for the show Here.
366 | 08 , the Exhibition, opens this Friday at Subtext Gallery with an Opening Reception from 6-10PM. Their new location is at 2479 Kettner (on the corner of Kettner & Laurel).
Hope to see you all there!
Check out Subtext for more info about the show.
