I really must apologize to the thousands of readers to my blog for the recent radio silence that has been up here. I assure you that it is all for good reason though. I have undertaken a project that when finished will be so bitchin that once you see it you will understand. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag just yet, but I will start to divulge details soon and promise to do a complete coverage of all of the elements and details that went into it. It has been a totally consuming in terms of planning, time, and concentration. I have managed to keep up with regular shooting and paying jobs in the meantime, but I got this itch a few months back to really put a major amount of effort into something that will really represent what I stand for and what I would like to portray, so keep your eyes and ears peeled! I promise, it will be good.

It has taken a lot of planning and research, a lot of mistakes, frustration, and quite an investment of both money and time, well, more time than anything.

To give you a little idea of one of the parts of the project, I will share this image. Its of a printer crate that arrived back in February. I knew it would be big, I just didnt realize it would be this BIG! When the freight truck driver came walking up to my door that day and we went outside and he asked me if I had a loading dock, I kind of looked at him like he had three heads. I then asked where he was parked and he pointed to a huge 18 wheeler that was idling on the side of the road up the hill from my development. After trying to figure out if he would be able to turn his truck around in there, he pulled it in. All I asked of him was that he help me at least get it up to my front door instead of leaving it out by the curb as he jacked up the palette and rolled this 180 pound crate to the back of the trailer. I gave him a tip and we finagled it up outside my door. I took the liberty of putting my cousins 115 pound bernese mountain dog up on top of the box to give an idea of scale. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if I had picked up a 44 inch wide printer instead. None the less, once set up and parked in my place, it is about the same size as my desk. Im still looking for the place where the cappuccino gets dispensed though. More to come……
