Seth Gibson is a local piano player who came to us to update his promotional images. We went over to the Athletic Club of Columbus where they have a beautiful ballroom (a few, actually) and a grand piano. They have some of my images over there so he figured he’d use someone who knew the place. I was really happy with the results.

I thought this one really captured his look and his attitude.

The rest of these here are more like what I had in mind beforehand.

Here’s a closeup of his hands at the keyboard.

We wanted to show some of the piano.

We then decided on a slightly different pose.

Be sure to see his facebook page and if you’re in need for a pianist for your event, please get in touch with him.

This is a bit late, but I thought I’d post about it anyway. As you might remember, we were in a trade show a couple months ago for babies and kids up to around age 5. The Baby Bonanza. It was a bit different this year — in April rather than March, a bigger venue, two days long, and more events.

This is how our booth looked like this year. I think it came together really well. Since people loved it so much last year, we once again had a lollipop game where we gave out gift certificates. What’s not to like about free candy? We also had a rest area where people could sit their kids down and have them play with coloring sheets and crayons (washable, of course). And, of course, the photography on the walls, in books, on easels, and on tables to show off our work.

The highlights are the diaper derby races, so I have a few images from those.

There was a stage where vendors could demonstrate what they do — like how to exercise with your baby:

Here’s a winner of one of the races.

Another highlight of the event is the fashion show.

The fashion show is for the parents, too!

Here’s another vendor — this time singing with kids.

And the winner of the final Diaper Derby!
All in all, we had a lot of fun. We hope to do it again next year.

Several months ago, I took some portraits of two little girls. Toward the end of the session, they were playing dress-up and one of them wore a princess costume — with a toothbrush.
That image ended up being much larger-than-life-size on a billboard to advertise a dentist’s office. It’s on High street going North, before getting into Merion Village. The wires look bad here in the still picture, but when you’re moving in a car, you don’t really notice them

It’s always fun to see my photos on billboards.

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I occasionally do some commercial work for Abbott Nutrition. Last week, for the Arnold Classic, several members of Team EAS (EAS is a division of Abbott Nutrition) were at Ross Park (near Easton) for media training and to visit with people. I was there bright and early at 7:00 and stayed until about 1:00, when everyone else went downtown to the convention center.

Then, in the afternoon, we drove to Dayton for the convention (see post below).

Well, we all knew it was coming. The big “ROSS” sign on the warehouse that you could see from highway 680 is gone. It’s been there for decades. Soon you’ll see “Abbott Nutrition” (or maybe just “Abbott”) emblazoned on the side of the building. I’m not sure if the red stripe will remain — but I kind of doubt it.
