I alluded to this in yesterday’s post:

HMB Visual is a photography & design studio featuring William Bragg Photography and Neanderthal Productions. It was created over some favorite libations at Venti’s Basement Bar and Pete’s Place bringing together a talented, dedicated and creative team. The brainchild of photographer William Bragg, the other team members consist of designer Timmy Myles & aspiring photographer and production man, Jake Horton. The new studio is located at 343 Court St. NE downtown Salem.

Look for more information really soon.

It’s hard to get them to NOT pose.

Been off the internet grid for most of the week, but for good reason. I’ll mention it tomorrow. I just needed to post at least one photo this week!

The art has been submitted and the jury has judged.

One of my favorite pieces is by an extremely talented artist currently living in Keizer, Elizabeth Baumann (website, blog) “Bound by the necessities of life”:

Back at work, yay! Well, I’m only sorta kidding. The blog has been quiet for the holiday break, and now it begins again. One thing, I thought I’d mention even though it’s a week old, is that I was profiled in the Sunday Statesman Journal on December 27th. It was pretty cool. It ran on the second page and covered the whole page. Anyway, if you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, Click Here.

This is from a recent shoot with the Cherry City Derby Girls for their t-shirts and other merchandise they are selling. I know many of the participants in the shoot (especially Leslie & Lisa *wink*) are waiting for more photos, and I should have them done soon. The holidays are definitely affecting my time, though.

I had a great time and can’t tell you how much I enjoy working with everyone involved with CCDG!

I took photos for a calendar for charity featuring the baristas of the Coffee House Cafe. The display copy is currently at the Coffee House Cafe, and available for order. The sales of this calendar will entirely go to supporting some of our neediest families in Salem. I urge you to contact Lari DeLapp, the owner of The Coffee House Cafe to order a calendar. Or better yet, head in, grab some coffee, tea, and a scone and check out the calendar in person. I can’t tell you how much you’ll be helping out some families in our local community. Everyone of us is way too familiar with the economic difficulties we’ve all been experiencing this past year. Plus you get some wicked photos of the attractive baristas of the Coffee House Cafe to get you through 2010!.
