Contest Entry Piece

7/27/2013

It's a busy Saturday here with both of my girls playing in all day soccer tournaments. This week has been full of play off games and letting my newly-permitted daughter drive me around, so I haven't had much time to spend on writing or photographing.

One item I worked on the last few days is preparing photos for an upcoming contest. This particular image deviates a bit from my usual style of photography. If it is a good result, I will report back next week when I find out how this piece does at the competition. Thanks for stopping by!

A Bear Suit

I’ve taken some pretty big leaps to try to win over an architectural account based in Minneapolis. The comfortable part about leaping around is that I’m just doing what I do and being who I am. The hard part is laying myself on the line and risking failure, I suppose, but as the old saying goes “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

I don’t know if I can “bear” EVERYTHING I’ve done to win over this company, but my latest attempt is kind of funny and the images are pretty hilarious, in my opinion, so here goes.

I decided that I would try to win a photo contest this establishment was having. I put my mind to work and decided on this: I need someone in a bear suit and a person to be chased by the bear. It related to the contest, albeit perhaps a little too directly. At any rate, I secured some talent to wear the bear suit and to play the part of the character being chased by the bear. We had several runs at it, and might have had more if the wind chill would have been above 10 degrees. But we got enough to work with and we all had a lot of fun.

Here was my contest entry piece. The end result? Looks like I’ll be brainstorming on my next idea soon.
