A couple of our East Coast co-workers visited San Diego last month. They have a pretty sick-ass-penthouse-like suite in the heart of Union Square in NYC, with views for days. Literally, they have all of the 19th floor in an open office kind of setting. It’s quite stunning and after my third visit, I am NOW over it lol. My jaw doesn’t drop nearly as low anymore. I have pictures of their office somewhere. Maybe I’ll post them one day. I’m tellin’ you, the views are killer.
But you know what? I’ll take this weather over that… That’s how much I hate the cold. I <3 NYC, don't get that twisted, but I just can't handle anything less than 90% sunny weather.
But let's say the weather was like San Diego... OMG, I'd probably be residing in Chelsea as I type. I picture myself as a Carrie Bradshaw type New Yorker, minus the fabulous shoes. I guess maybe one day? Hmm, probably not. I'll just stick to visiting.
We had a photoshoot a few days ago and being the senior designer for the company, I don’t normally shoot on set (sometimes I’ll do candids). I’m usually there to help style and see to it that the vision pans out successfully, while also making sure the shots translate well to the web.
For this shoot, we did a “1 Look 5 Ways” theme where you’d take a staple piece, like a button up or a dress and style it for 5 different settings. So basically, translating this look to a vacation getaway look, or weekend look or office attire… you get the picture.
So being that we had a studio set up along with a location set up, it made sense to shoot the model in studio and then take them to a location and shoot the same look. In order to be efficient, we had our main photographer on set in the studio, while myself and our second photographer take the models outside to snap a few images in an environment that caters more to the style of the look.
So anyway, here are a few images I took from the shoot. Disregard the Starbucks logos as those will definitely not be on the final images lol. As always, click for the larger (and better quality) photo.
At home and at work!
I’ve seen these all over flickr and also on a few blogs and never got around to doing it… until today. I didn’t realize how awful I laid my stuff out until I downloaded the images onto my mac, but shit… I ain’t laying that shit out again and retaking the image. Plus, the contractors doing our master bath will wonder WTF I’m doing lol!!

Edit, Wallpaper time (click for 1920×1200):
For awhile now I’ve been twittering about a fucking Toilet Seat Pisser at work. Some bitch keeps taking a leak and doesn’t seem to care that they leave remnants of their disease filled piss on the seat. Note: this is a unisex bathroom with one toilet and no urinal.
Does this really bother me since I stand to piss? YES. I have to pick the seat up so if there is piss on the seat then it bothers me. Sometimes I even have to take a shit so YES it bothers me.
So I got to thinking about all the bathroom dilemmas we’ve had at work. There’s the exploding shitter whose shit seems to hit all sides of the bowl and loves to leave it there. There is also that shitter who pushes WAY TO HARD and leaves the bathroom all muggy and gross. There is also that cunt who sprays the air freshener like 7 times to mask out the ass… but it just turns into a really potent sea breeze smell with a hint of ass and because it’s so potent, it’s actually worse because it hurts your nostrils. And then there’s the person who doesn’t flush.
Anyway, 6 or so months ago, someone puts up a sign above the toilet. That shit said “Please put the toilet seat back down after use”
Ok first of all, I get it if it were a women’s bathroom and a guy needed to go so bad he “borrowed” it. But this shit is a unisex place of pissin’ and pooin’
You want to talk about equality, then you bitches betta learn to put the seat down and touch it like the rest of us. Because if we men have to touch it to put it up, then you bes touch it to put it down and if takes a gay man to be just as much of a diva… then this gay man is me cause I ain’t down with that double standard crap.
SO ANYWAY… my point is, this note probably pissed off the Toilet Seat Pisser. He probably thought, “If I gotta put this shit up and down every time I piss, then I want do it at all. I’ll piss as is.”
UGH. So now we both lose. Boys and girls. Piss and poo. It’s all over the place.
If I was straight and married to a woman, I would have a urinal installed in our master bath. That way she wouldn’t be so fucking irritated with a toilet seat being up. So when they redesign our office… I hope to god we have either mens and womens bathrooms… or at least a urinal for men who pee without fuss.
End rant. Long day.
Not as crazy as usual, but still needed!
We launched our Holiday Campaign for work yesterday and the shots turned out extra fabulous with some photoshop work. At first, there was some skepticism about how the final product would look because it really didn’t look all that exciting pre-photoshop, but I must say… it turned out fantastic.
For the record, the bathroom at work is disgusting. It’s been “remodeled” once but really… it’s more like it was just cleaned up really well.
Anyway, I can handle shit stains on the bottom of the bowl (god bless your soul) but what I don’t understand is when that shit, literally, is on the side of the damn bowl.
Can shit be explosive? Has your shit ever been so EXPLOSIVE that it hit all areas of the damn toilet bowl? Cause that’s just disgusting. You need to either a) get your asshole checked or b) change your diet. That ain’t right.
Without the snow on the ground…
I look about how I feel. Cold.
Minus the whole work related convention thingy….
Read on…
My co workers and I have been playing cam-phone tag thanks to the tag starter noogs.
Check out Noogs post here.
We just launched sites for dollhouse.com as well as a collection Paris Hilton is doing with them. Check it out… we’ve done the (e)commerce portion of their site.
Yay for hump day.
During a quick lunch break at work, the newly turned 26 Holly, snapped away.
I shot my first wedding with 5byseven.com. It was really fun/tiring and something we’re definitely going to venture off into. We also just purchased our own studio set up so we’re pretty stoked on getting this thing going.
If you guys have any work you need done, holla atcha your boy.
nyc (+) work (-) weather (-)
boston (+) convention (+) weather (-)
Three +’s three -’s. I’d say it was a successful business trip.
Clarione came by the office today to help make our walls cooler than the already are. Pre-clarione, this is how it looked:
Not too bad eh? With our straight and gay powers combined, I’d say it came out pretty fuckin’ good. Sorry for the perezhilton beauty marks.
So then we added NYC queer to the equation:
Crazy huh? I keep telling this guy he needs to do something with his talent. But hey, if he ain’t using it for himself, might as well use it myself haha… So in return, Holly and I are going to design/build him a portfolio site. Clarione.com. Look out for this guy.
