Something @bytaylortrask and I bonded over when we first met was music. We very frequently share our favorite artists with each-other as well as our all time favorite music videos (for real this is a daily exchange over Slack we enjoy). When Taylor told me about this gem of a show on @netflix There was no questioning not watching it, especially when the intro has such amazing motion graphics. Do yourself a favor and go check out @songexploder it will give you a whole new appreciation for musicians and their amazing teams they work with.

Just relaxing and enjoying this lazy rainy Sunday

Just relaxing and enjoying this lazy rainy Sunday and settling in with a Christmas present I got this year which was The Graphis Annual 1965/66. Look at all that awesome typography and illustration! Definitely a good day to geek out on some old school design and get inspired. I love collecting art and design books, there’s something so very wonderful about picking up a book and touching it and flipping pages.

hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!

It’s fun to look back on successful projects from the past. We loved working with @silhouettestudio art directing and shooting their home collection over at @sunbeamstudiopdx. It was a beautiful day with wonderful people. We love working with companies that make great products that we get to elevate and tell a story through photography. #photography #wearerealistic #fashionphotography #artdirection #creativeadvisory #agencylife #helpingotherssucceed

There’s 23 days left of 2020, think about it 23

There’s 23 days left of 2020, think about it 23 whole days left of a year that will go down in history as one fo the craziest years most of us have ever experienced in our lives. There’s a lot we can bad talk about 2020, like we could all just shit talk this year to the moon! We’d like to take a moment to flip that thinking and talk about some good things that have happened.

This year has been like the labyrinth we all have been forced to walk. If you are not familiar with what a labyrinth is it’s a maze that you start and follow until you get to the center. The point of it is you are forced to just walk and be in the present moment, there are no short cuts or choices to be made you just walk until you get to the end, you just have to be patient and walk it out. This sounds pretty familiar to our experience with 2020, it’s been a very long maze with seemingly no end.
.
.
.
Why is this good you ask? Well in such a fast moving world we live in we create a lot of problems for ourselves that manifest into stress, anxiety and depression etc.. When we are able to slow down and just be with ourselves in the present moment we are able to see things clearly and appreciate everything around us. We think this is something everyone in the world has needed. We’ve all been reminded how much we miss the little things like hugs and general gatherings of people. Maybe this year was meant to remind us that if we thought we had it so bad maybe we really didn’t.
.
.
.
This year has forced us to fight for what we believe in and develop our voices. There’s still so much work to be done, but this year cut the distractions so everyone could focus on the fight for equality and to end racism and make diversity a priority.

Thank You 2020 for pushing us to grow even though it’s been extremely hard and uncomfortable and feels very unfair at times.
