On Monday the photo essay I worked on the previous week ran in WWD "Women's Wear Daily", with the title "Serene in Seattle: Retail Enclave Resits Chains."

 

  Madison Park is one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods and Senior Editor WWD, David Moin's excellent article describes the place perfectly. I read a pdf online and when I get some copies I will show the photo essay as well. 

 

  Also this week I was working on a commercial job, an ad series for Aree Perlman's Jewelry store.  It is amazing how shooting digital has replaced the whole scheme of analizing polaroids! No more goo on your fingers, and seeing the shot on the computer is so much nicer.  The difficult lighting effects required to shoot small products like Jewelry are easier to see on a 21 inch Sony monitor than on a small polaroid.

I had a pleasant surprise when I got to my mailbox yesterday. 

 

 I received a copy of the Hearth and Home magazine story with my photos.

 

 4 full pages and I am really pleased with the quality of the printing and the design and layout. It is such a spectacular place.

 

And the view, WOW! Be sure to see it online using the enlarge module on the bottom right of the picture slide show box.
