While I have been the one receiving all the congrats, which I must admit feels pretty good,  I would be remiss if I didn’t give credit where credit is due.  It takes a village, right? My village is Scott Reed, Curt Von Diest, Hilary Skirboll, Paul Nordmann, Paula Gren and Kathy McGuire-Mullins.  Thanks to all.  And thanks to Tony, Yvonne and the entire HYC/Advocate crew for ‘getting it’!

Hats off to Mike Hartley at Big Flannel for his talent, vision and most importantly patience – if PDN had a ‘how many site revisions can a designer/programmer tolerate?’ award, he would definitely win big! In lieu of that, we are proud to share a nod in the Website Category of this year’s PDN Photo Annual.

Thanks again, Mike

Lori Schwilling, Homestead 2011

We are happy to welcome Lori Schwilling to our team. Hailing from San Francisco, Lori worked with us in Petaluma last fall on a five day shoot for Gilenya. She refers to her 3 week drive here on back roads through six states as an ‘epic’ roadtrip. All the while shooting loads of film, she traced her family roots back to the original homestead in the Flint Hills of Kansas.

Since arriving to St. Louis she has gained a new appreciation for ice cubes, air conditioning and local news.

Received this package via US mail last week. What’s hilarious is he was $.04 short! It’s beautiful. I’m thinking of framing it.
