One of my favorite clients is the marketing department at the Covenant Village of Northbrook. I often have the chance to work with Darlene and her team in developing new marketing materials by photographing the people, staff and places in and around their property in Northbrook, IL. Yesterday was one of those days, and these photos are a good sampling of what I get to see, experience and document when I’m there. The residents know how to really enjoy their golden years living in a unique and high quality facility.
One of our favorite destinations is Venice, Italy. We have just returned, and will share a selection of images from our new shooting. This is a slow shutter speed shot of one of the world’s most photographed scenes.
I recently had the opportunity to do the still photo work at an infomercial taping at TLN Studios in Aurora, IL. Manika is an amazing young lady with extraordinary talent, and besides being a music artist, she is an author. This video is a slide-show feature from the taping and the music track is from one of her recorded songs.
When winter in the Midwest is long and cold, it seems like Spring has a hard time getting started. But after our visit to Morton Arboretum yesterday, we can confirm that Spring is here. It’s always a refreshing challenge for us to find creative new perspectives. Enjoy our views.
My second trip to China was like no other. I traveled to some remote, rural areas, where Christians are thriving and growing in numbers. One of their most serious limitations is the availability of Bibles. That’s where VOCA comes in – we maxed out our current funds and delivered (personally) 7,500 brand new Bibles. The joy and emotion was exceptional. I wish you could have been there – but I hope this video will give you a flavor of what I experienced with my team.
I returned home from China a week ago today, but the “faces and places” are still with me in so many ways. The culture and character of the Chinese people gave me a wonderful opportunity for such a variety of imagery. (click on the collage for an even larger view.) My work with VOCA has been challenging but rewarding. If you can, visit the VOCA FaceBook page. We’d love to have you become a “fan.”
