This is where I exhibit some of my recently published work, or 'tearsheets' as some in the industry call them. Whenever possible, I'll tell you when the work was published and include a short comment or two about the job.


WALL STREET JOURNAL

Aaron Gillum of Covisint LLC in Southfield, Mich. is a 24 year old auction engineer for the company. He sets up auctions after purchasing managers at auto makers contact them with parts orders. A nice guy who says he is often mistaken for Tiger Woods on the golf course.

What I particularly liked was his quote in the the article that accompanied the photo: "These auctions are for millions of dollars," says Mr. Gillum, 24 years old. "We're not messing around here with $10 at a time. You're not buying a digital camera or something like that." (I wish my digital camera cost $10!)


OUTDOOR LIFE MAGAZINE

This was one of those shots where when you're shooting, you know it's going to be a great portfolio piece. These three former schoolteachers opened a worm business and have become the nation's largest earthworm producer. Yes, those are real worms... 80 pounds worth! My assistant was a trooper; she was dumping handfulls around the guys.

When I suggested this idea, they jumped right in with an enthusiastic, "let's do it!" We cut foamcore to fit around their shoulders, then started adding worms.

Thanks guys for making this job a fun one!


INTERACTIVE WEEK MAGAZINE

Enrico Digirolamo, pictured at right, below, was the acting CEO of Covisint when this portrait was created to accompany the 'Dewar's Interview'-style layout for Interactive Week magazine. He said this was one of the most flattering protraits ever taken of him.
