We had a great day back at Work N’ Gear yesterday. It was a nice mellow day shooting cloths on seamless. I really like shooting for WNG because we have such fun with their people.
We spent the afternoon with Chris Capella, one of their designers/art directors. (Thats him holding lazily holding the ladder making sure I don’t tip over… I think) Chris is actually going to be running a marathon a bunch of Sundays from now. And he’s never run before! Kick some ass Chris!
Chris is also a partner with our friend Gary Hedrick. The two of them run Elefhantworks, a design firm here in Boston. They too have a blog that is worth checking out if you are into design.
CB has found his soul mate...
Of course a day at WNG wouldn’t be the same without CBK. He makes the day run so smooth… Especially in the laugh department.
(BTW, I can only show the above photo as the blog is PG13. Keep it up CB!)

A lot of folks have been following the Dominican Republic job that I have been posting about and really liking the photos. (thanks BTW…) But the thing to always remember is that it is the clients like Work N Gear who are the most important.
These jobs might not be as glamorous, there is no travel, no helicopters, no SCUBA gear, but they are the cleints that stick with you year after year, trust what you do, and love what you provide. It is important to never forget this, and take care of them FIRST, becuase they will be by your side long after the helicopter and sun drenched model jobs fade away.
Chris! Show me "Tiger"
I believe that the key to doing good work is to keep it light, and have a good time doing it! Over the past two months, we have been shooting product for a company called Work N Gear south of Boston. We have spend several days at their facility shooting some simple, but solid catalog work. Some photographers arent interested in doing work like this, but for us it has been a blast. Consequently, I think it shows in the work.
Trying out the clothing...
Too close Chris.... Too damn close!
When I started in the business, I was often told that my work was just too damn broad. Photographers that I would assist for would all say, “you have to decide what it is you want to shoot, and concentrate on that!
This was when I would always pull out my favorite old-tyme word….Balderdash! Having the ability to shoot many different styles is a commercially viable skill, and has paid off over the past ten years.
