I’ll post my Top 10 Movies of 2008 in late December

Ah this week has been crazy, the past 6 months I have been doing a lot of graphic design, and have not been able to get behind the camera as much as I wanted to. Realizing that I decided that after the art show in Lancaster, I wanted to come back and get back to do my photo thing. And sure enough, the week after I get back, I have projects booked for 11 days straight. Now you’d think, 11 days straight. Crazy. But no, I am actually very prepared for the work load, and excited about each and every shoot.

Here are some projects I’m working on this week:
WATCHOUT! THERES GHOSTS “GHOST TOWN” CD Artwork

ALL SHALL PERISH Rockett Photos
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Live in San Francisco
UNDERNEATH THE GUN CD Artwork
CATHERINE Press / Promotional Photos

A great list of projects, that I’m so excited about. So if I’m distant, or hard to get a hold of, you know why. Also, finally, a break from making myspaces! (granted, I enjoy them)

I also have a huge project I’m putting a proposal together for, which could be gigantic, so please keep your fingers crossed, and send your best wishes!

They create the CD cover, the booklet found in the jewel case, the artwork for bands’ websites and much more. Now the group is taking their material to new levels: they’re making it into a true art form worthy to be put on display on any wall, whether it be inside one’s house or in an office lobby. But for now the artwork of Sons of Nero will be on display at the Metropolis Gallery in Lancaster through November 30…(click to read full article)

Check out this video (dont worry, there is no sound) of the gallery, taken by PennLive.com:
