Another night of photobooth fun! This time was a little different, as it was my eldest sister’s wedding! I had a few hours the day before the wedding to scout out a location within the reception venue, 632 on Hudson, a converted residence decorated with an astonishing collection of antiques and artifacts from all over the world on the edge of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.

My favorite photo of the night was Tad, experiencing the booth for the first time before the wedding began.

Because everything in 632 on Hudson is basically a priceless antique, the setup had to be minimally invasive, quick to setup and takedown, and alcohol proof (easy-to-use and protected) which led to this setup.  I didn’t bring any set pieces for the backdrop because the room was beautifully decorated to begin with. The room was also shared with a self-serve bar, which guaranteed traffic, a very important aspect of photobooth setups.

Over 500 photos were taken during this reception. Some photos were pretty, some racy, but always fun and entertaining. View all the images from the night here. I’ve also included a very rough iPhone photo of the setup for those curious.

A travel blog I created to document an eight month journey through Southeast Asia.

Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Borneo, Brunei, and South Korea — I visited all, posting writings and photographs along the way. About half way through the journey, Lonely Planet selected the site for its Blog Sherpa Beta program, which features content from Hi and Thank You in context on LonelyPlanet.com.

Maintaining a visual appeal, the site streams personal photography from the hi and thank you flickr pool. Content creation and moderation partnered with some SEO strategy made the site a success.

As a freelance creative strategist, I established the branding, both strategically and visually, of the interactive arm of Global Advertising Strategies. Starting with the name, the Interactive Director and I created the company from the ground up, determining the look and feel, and the creative structure and processes.

As the international agency extended its offering to provide in-house digital services, I developed digital strategies for existing clients and the presentations through which the ideas where pitched.
