Sara Remington loves giraffes and bees

A few recent shots of Sara shooting bees on location in Big Sur for the 'Big Sur Bakery Cookbook' and some giraffes on the side.

Sara says: someone please get me a napkin for my drool

Lauren Pett is the brainiac behind the deliciously decadent Rich Chocolates in Chicago. Not only does Sara get to shoot Lauren's unique and quirky inventory of candies and chocolates, but she also gets to eat everything after pushing the pieces around for hours to get the right angle. Favorites include the Whimsy Collection, which is a take on childhood favorites like mint chocolate chip, bananas foster, pecan pie, and smores. Mmmmm...

Shameless promotion

Friends and fans of the LA Derby Dolls, I present to you another great game that you should not, cannot miss. Last month I brought Cline Davis Mann creatives Tom Galati and Tracy Dennis and Greg Jaroszewski of Kaplan Thaler as well as Erik Almas, Loni Weholt and Erik's photo crew. I know for a fact that they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Little bonus was Drew Barrymore in the house who is directing her first film "Whip It!", a fictional tale about our league written by fellow team mate Shauna Cross aka Maggie Mayhem. March 15th my beloved Sirens go up against the Fight Crew. Blood will flow, bodies will fly, and a great time will be had by all. Get your tickets early as we sell out all of our games. http://derbydolls.com/la/index.html

Erik Almas shoots Caduet

Erik was in LA over the weekend shooting for Cline Davis Mann. Images included a couple aboard a double decker bus which we drove at very low speeds around downtown LA with a police escort. The clients had a blast!

Women and Wine in the West

Last month Tidepool collaborated with the Blackwell files to host a fantastic social event, celebrating Bay Area women in the industry. It was amazing to connect with art buyers, other reps, photographers, stylists, and producers outside of the work arena... what an extraordinary group of women! The wine was flowing, the snacks were delicious and the company was purely inspirational. It was such a success, we hope to have more gatherings soon... Stay tuned!

Timothy Archibald featured in group show opening this Saturday in Chicago

"Satin Satan's next show, 'Fun Gun', features photographs which are both visually playful and hint at more serious ideas. This exhibit can be enjoyable to look at for someone who isn't art educated or it can be an intellectual thriller for the skinny jeaned type. My aims for this gallery in a broader sense are to pair talented up-and-comers with established champions of art. I also want to give Chicago a place to look at great work and meet other people. Peoria Street galleries are funerals and I want Satin Satan to be drunk and full of life, you know, the Irish kind of funeral." -Brad Troemel, Curator


Location is Satin Satan Gallery , 1918 North Wood Street in Chicago, the attached image is titled ' Early Morning Ghost, 2007'. The show opens on Feb 16th, this Saturday.

Burgers and a haircut

K and B are working together in Los Angeles this week. Kathryn's arrival inspired an afternoon BBQ. John Graham from Goodby, also in town from San Francisco, joined us as well as Emily McDowell, Jeff Greenspan and Craig Ferrence of Ground Zero. And some other random people. We're looking forward to a week of meetings which will end with an LA event that you shouldn't miss. Raggedy Annarchy, jammer for the The Sirens with the Los Angeles Derby Dolls (aka Brooke Embry) will be managing her team to another victory. You can bet on that. Get your tickets now, they will be gone in another day or two: http://derbydolls.com/la/index.html

Here's a pic of us hard at work, in derby uniforms of course. With our new haircuts.
