Finished: Zoe Brown Photography

This was actually finished several months ago, but I’m a lazypants blogger, so here it is now:

Here is the finished site for Zoe Brown Photography. This site is pretty simple, but the really spiffy part of it is how easy it is to update. When Zoe wants a photo to show up on her website, she just tags it a certain way in her Flickr account, and the photo automatically appears wherever she tells it to. Easy! Just like your mom.

Also recently I shot some videos for Conner & Miller at IBMA 2010 in Nashville. You can watch the videos on the YouTube channel I set up for Conner & Miller, but unless you really dig bluegrass gospel music, it’s not very exciting.

I’m trying to separate all my blog-related activities – work stuff on this for-realz blog and stupid shit I find on the Internet on my tumblr. This attempt at professionalism is probably in vain if I can’t stop myself from making your mom jokes when discussing projects. But, you know, progress.

Sample Headers

Here are some headings from the mockups I’m finishing up for a photography site.  Some of them suck, but that’s what mockups are for.

See Zoe’s work at Flickr or Facebook and soon at zoebrownphotography.com.  She’s very talented and is one of my favorite people ever.  Here’s a couple of Zoe’s photos that I absolutely love:

jenny & sparky weddiing 078

This is my mom, at my wedding rehearsal.  She’s hates being photographed and is pretty good at blink-sabotaging when I try to sneak photos of her.  A shot of her alone is VERY rare, especially one where she appears to be looking at the camera.

meredith by zoe

That’s Meredith, my college roommate (and, non-consecutively, my current roommate).  She’s been dancing since she was a little girl; I don’t know how long … since she was an infant or something.

dan jumping

That’s Dan.  He joined the Navy – I’ve been told (perhaps wrongly) that he joined to meet (and presumably bang) girls in foreign countries.

I could pretty much sit here all night and post awesome Zoe photos.  I’m feel exceptionally lucky to be the one to get to develop a website for her to start her photography business full time.

shirt artwork

Here’s some art I made for a shirt art contest.

I googled “tentacles” in Google image search to get ideas.  Then I immediately modified my search query to “tentacles -porn.”  Oh Internet, don’t ever change.

This is Brighton, East Sussex, UK, where I’ll be living for a month.  Maybe when I get back all the damn snow will have melted.  Our front walk still looks like this:

passive-aggressive valentine

I got this card in the mail from my Grandma yesterday.  I’ve had that number memorized since I was four.

It worked though; I did call her.

So, there’s this new project in the UK called Wondermart.  You wear headphones and take an interactive tour through a grocery store.  This is both awesome and irritating at the same time. (link)

Gifts / Wrap / Phones

I finally got an iPhone, so consider this the first of many postings of crappy low-res photos taken with it.

Here are some gifts I sent to friends & relatives, some grossly overdue (better late than never, right guys?)
