Boy, I'm getting very bad at keeping the Blog updated. Ironic in that in theory, clients can stop in here to see what I've been up to, effectively making this a marketing tool...but what if you've got too much work, and never find the time to update it? Will have to write Socrates about that one...

Anyway, at left is an advertisement featuring some of the dogs we've photographed over at North Shore Animal League America, you'll see it locally in newspapers in the weeks to come. NSALA's Mutt-i-Grees Club promotes the love of mixed-breed dogs, which of course is what you're likely to find the most of at their shelter. Stop in their new site and have a look, by clicking HERE.

Here's a shot that has been made into a 16x20 gallery wrap, and as of this week will hang in a Farmingdale dental office along with 7 other images of the office's clients. We enjoyed a fun-filled shoot(s) making commercial images of smiling, happy clients from the office, and now the images are used for the office marketing. A smart idea, if you ask me...makes it personal. That's a good thing. Check out their site, the docs there are all affable, professional, and hey, they have great decorating taste with these prints!

I do a lot of assignments with the fine gang of folks over at the New York Institute of Technology, and never seem to mention them frequently enough in this blog. The Magazine and Marketing and Comm directors there are first-rate, a lot of fun to work with, and are always a pleasure. We keep things clean but also creative, and as a cooperative provide the university with what hopefully helps them to visually put their best foot forward.

Here's a shot of the university president, who thankfully is a camera buff as well as a fine subject. You have to love it when they provide cool backgrounds for dramatic event shots like this...

And last but by no means least, here's the wonderful and talented Bocker the Labradoodle. Bocker is a bit of a celeb to say the least - he works in film (he just shared the screen with Julia Roberts), on commercial tv work, print ads, and a variety of charities.

Bocker and his mom (and Lisa, too!) popped by my place last week to update his headshots. In this one, his tux is adding a dapper polish to the image, while we make sure his gaze lets us see those eager eyes and the fuzzy smile.

We'll see Bocker again soon at the NSALA Gala in Manhattan...thanks so much for coming by you guys! Oh an next time, I'll go with serving croissants and jam instead of bruschetta - it was kind of early for that, wasn't it.

See more of Bocker on his website HERE!
