When I was living in California, the concept of winter was more of just a tourist destination like going to Tahoe. Now, being in Michigan, winter means a lot more indoor time to work on the stuff that always gets deprioritized when the weather is nice. Hence, we had some time to take a break from the volume of work that picked up considerably last year to strengthen our relationships with many of our existing clients. Obviously, […]
Jack embarked on a southern migration a few weeks ago to escape the Michigan winter and work on his multimedia project, Beyond the Cushion. Having been in lock down for the past several years like everyone else, this is the first time he is able to use this nimble conversion van for an extended period to efficiently travel and stay inconspicuous! It has been a fruitful journey being to interview a number of […]
The second segment of my epic road trip was in the Southwest and even though it was in the winter months, the weather was great during that time of the year. The great thing about the arid southwest is that things don’t look that different compared to the summer. Undoubtedly my two favorite cities during this segment was Sedona and Santa Fe for different reasons. Like Bend OR, Sedona is a bit of any outdoor […]
As a silver lining of the great pandemic of 2020, I took some time (actually a lot of time) to reflect on my body of work and put together some ‘highlights’ from the past 20 years of professional work. Ironically, the bulk of what I’ve pull together is a very small percentage of the type of work that I normally do for our corporate clients. My 10 years of being a wedding photographer was entirely left out […]

“The journey of fifty thousand miles starts with a good internet connection.”
I wish I could say I was disengaging from the “Matrix” on this pilgrimage in the west but the reality of the digital economy is a rather constant connection to the virtual world. And even though it was only really 3 short months, the experience somehow seem like a decade of experience. Whilst on this journey, I experienced so many peak moments in such a compressed […]
During our transition to being a virtual company, I took the opportunity to reexamine my own situation after being in the Bay Area for over 25 years. I had been considering relocating outside the Bay Area for some time but finding a mutually agreeable place with my ex hadn’t been easy. Regardless, I decided to take a leap of faith and agreed to letting her move back to Michigan with my daughter for the next year. Since […]
