The celebration of the Lunar New Year is a phenomenon as global as various diaspora allows. Perhaps most well-known in the West as a Chinese celebration, the lunisolar calendar is observed in many more places than just that nation. That said, the Chinese observation is unique in that […]
any time we’re working with a new assistant for the first time, I’m always curious to see how they coil a cable. It’s not a test, more of an observation – are they cautions, are they thoughtful? Are they paying attention? You can learn a lot about someone’s work ethic […]
This week is bursting with puppies: Today and tomorrow, the Westminster Kennel Club holds its 137th Annual All-Breed Dog Show, which was cleverly parodied in the movie Best in Show.

Picking up where we left off last week in our impromptu living room studio, let’s swap the lighting around to make a different style of photo which is designed to fulfill a different purpose.
The first photo was more in-house—think PR. It’s the kind of photo you would get if the […]
