Project 365 (January)

Got wind of this group on Flickr called project 365.  They ask you to take a photo a day for a year, so in an effort to flex my creative muscles, I decided to give it a whirl. Below are January’s photos, and I’m happy to say that so far, I haven’t missed a day.  Only 11 more months to go.

What’s your favorite image from January?  Leave your thoughts in the comment field below.  (FYI – My personal favorite is 14/365, Paper Sisters.)

Poster Showcase

This months Poster showcase is for a film I was lucky enough to be involved with.  THE ART OF THE STEAL is the latest documentary by Don Argott &  9.14 Pictures (Rock School, Two Days in April) that tells the story of Dr. Albert C. Barnes and struggle over his mult-billion dollar art collection housed at the Barnes Foundation in Philly.   Back when I was on-staff at 9.14, I helped out on the production side of this project, and I’m so pleased at the way it turned out, as well as all the buzz it’s been getting over the last few months.  I had a chance to check it out at last years NYFF and it blew me away.  It’s being release in theaters on February 26th, so if you get the chance, go check it out.  You can look up where it’s playing near you over at the Sundance Selects website.

Now, onto the poster.  The one-sheet was designed by Neil Kellerhouse and Kellerhouse, Inc. (who’s probably best known for designing Criterion Collection art) and uses newspaper clippings to create a terrific film noir/caper style figure.  Design has a very old-fashion, art deco quality to it, reminding me of the great master, Saul Bass. A great poster, for flick.  (I may be a little biased)

Mummers Parade 2010

I just picked up a new Nikon D90 over the Holiday and broke it in @ the 2010 Mummers Parade held in Philly.  With a ton of vibrant colors and amazing characters, it was the perfect venue to test out what the Digital SLR was made of.  Although I’m extremely happy with the results, I can definitely see myself picking up a nice wide lens and a better (…and Crisper) zoom lens in 2010.  But first things first…enjoy the pictures.
