This is more of a statement than a question! Thank you for sharing your photos with the rest of us! Your photos always have a meaning in life! To me, the "photo of the rowdy bunch.." reflects what life is all about, enjoying life with friends. "Screw Keeping up with the Kardashins!"

Jimmy Samartzis of United Continental Airlines for Fast Company’s December/January issue. Taken on the tarmac at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.

We only had 45 minutes on the tarmac to deliver several different setups for the Art Director. Between the food service trucks and baggage handlers, it made for an interesting shoot.

When my 90 year old grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, refuses to eat, my uncle plays the old mariachi and mexican love songs she still recognizes. He dances and gets her in a good mood until she’s ready to be served.

Ben Kweller outtake from last week.

As an added bonus, a link to “Heads & Tails” that Ben posted last night, which is the beginning and ending of every song on his new album that is coming out in February. The album itself is badass, but this intro/outro track is the jam too.

Here’s the video from my Pecha Kucha presentation last week. It’s about how we need to find inspiration for ourselves before we can inspire others to hire us and how DJ Stout helped me figure that out.

The audio is funky in the middle, so turn on Close Captioning and turn up the volume to follow along.

He’s no Joe Biden, but he’s a pretty good sidekick anyway.

In what might be the oddest assignment I have ever been given, I was asked by the iPad-based newspaper, The Daily, to cover a toddler beauty pageant being filmed by TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras in Austin. They were to accompany a feature by Arts & Life section writer Rich Juzwiak, who was embedded as a guest judge. It was published today, so now you can see the cover, read the article, watch a video about it, and flip through the images that ran here.

Above are some of the images that didn’t run in the final story. Overall it was an interesting experience and my sentiment is similar to that which Rich writes about in the article; some stuff was weird, some unpleasant, but for the most part it wasn’t really that bad. The vast majority of people were incredibly nice and the children seemed to legitimately enjoy themselves. There were those of course that you could tell weren’t there by their own choice or who had less than positive temperaments. Those tended to be the subjects the T.V. producers followed around.

If you have an iPad, do yourself a favor and get The Daily. It’s a fantastic and well rounded news experience. It’s not just a static magazine in digital form, but instead features a mix of video, stills, and interactive graphics that help break down the daily news. At 99 cents a week, its a steal. If you’re not on the iPad, you can catch some of their daily articles on Facebook with their Daily Social Reader App.

Here is the Pecha Kucha Austin 12 poster designed by my buddy Stu Taylor of Pentagram Austin, featuring me and 9 groups of people more talented than me. Come see my attempt to teach you something you probably already know this Thursday.

Thanks for spelling my name right Stu.
