Giving and Feeling Thankful

Last year for the 10th anniversary of Malone and Co the crew gave Patty and I gift certificates from an organization called Kiva. Kiva is the world's first person to person micro loaning website. Kiva's goal is to eliminate world poverty by helping small entrepreneurs with loans from people like us. We receive email journal updates and track repayments for each person we lend money to. Then, when our loan is repaid, we can relend to someone else in need.

So if your looking to help out and not "bailout" Kiva would be a good choice.

This is 3 Days in The City

Images from Mike, Geoff and Andrews recent trip to NYC for the PhotoExpo.

Templeton Rye

A few weeks ago while shooting in Iowa the locals told us about a distillery that was brought back to life from the prohibition era. We headed over to Templeton, home of Templeton Rye Whiskey where Kevin gave us a private tour. There is some cool history about this whiskey including that this was Al Capone's favorite. If you're ever in the area you should stop by and then go pick up "The Good Stuff".

Hawkins Construction

There is always construction going on around town- so what better way for Hawkins to advertise than to put up signage on their job trailers. Andrew shot around the new south Omaha bridge project, new library in west Omaha and new high school in Elkhorn to create new images for outdoor advertising as well as website updates. Thanks to all the guys for being so accommodating. They look tough, but had a good time with the shoot.

Breast Cancer Awareness

It's the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness month and I'm finally getting some images from the Nebraska Susan G. Komen 2008 Race for the Cure posted. Sorry for the delay- slowly getting through the back log of photos. Congrats to all that helped make this year yet another record in attendance with over 17,000 participants! Very cool to see so many people supporting the good fight!

Saturday Night- Live From NYC

Another full day in NYC and we found alot more cool stuff that we would like to add to our arsanal. Our wish list is growing! We hit a couple good workshops that provided some new bits of info and reinforced that we are on the same page with alot of the industry leaders. Between new lighting and discovering cool new backend software - the best experience was getting our hands on the new Mark II 5d- look for some exciting new possibilities in the near future!

Huge shot out to Peter and Stephanie for letting us crash at their place! It worked out great-THANKS!

New York Day 1

Mike, Geoff and Andrew are in New York for the PDN Photoplus Expo. After a cramped flight we dropped our stuff off and headed to the Javits Convention Center to see the expo. Lookig forward to the seminars tomorrow- ready to soak up that knowledge. Ask us what we learned on Monday.

Andrew & Adrianne

Last weekend the studio aka the "media" captured tons of images from Andrew and Adrianne's wedding. Check out the gallery with a few favorites.
