New Work: ATOM WILLIS

Over this past weekend, I had the opportunity to work with an up and coming designer on some images that may become part of his look book. The whole shoot was a bit impromptu as it started around 11:30 at night...in his back yard.

Everything about the shoot was really organic. Things just kind of flowed around and came together thanks to some really great local modeling talent. And a great location that is the designer's house. Here are a couple sneak peeks at what we created!

Quick Update and other tidbits

I figured I would take advantage of the brief amount of downtime I had before I ran the last of the house to school.

This year has taken off with a bang. And hasn't let up at all.

I am enrolled in a couple classes that have re-arranged my schedule some so there has been a slight learning curve, to both mind and body. The classes I am taking this semesters are definitely some interesting eye-openers and I am sure more than a couple will spark some new posts. One of which is in draft form as we speak.

On a side note, I tweeted about this yesterday. It appears that the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, TX will now be the press photo archive for Magnum Photos.

Magnum Photos has sold its archive of more than 185,000 press prints to Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Computer, and two other investors for an undisclosed amount, the agency announced today. Under the terms of the sale, the prints were moved in December 2009 from Magnum's New York office to the Harry Ransom Center, the humanities library at the University of Texas in Austin.

The full details of the sale and how this is going to work can be found here on Magnum Photos or through PDN Online.

So after a longer weekend than planned that included a small family trip to Port Lavaca this past saturday and then family portraits for my family on sunday back in Austin, I am finally finishing the post about this image:
