Some updates from Colin

Hey blog readers, if you still exist. I haven’t posted in a while, and I apologize for that.

I’ve been keeping busy, shooting for a wide range of clients including the Wall Street Journal and the national gay and lesbian magazine The Advocate recently. Some projects upcoming, I’ll be shooting for several smaller trade magazines this month as well as going around the country with BMW / MiniCooper.

As I debate whether or not to continue this blog in its current form I will continue to post newer photos on the front page of my website and I will make a decision very soon as to whether or not I will end this space on my portfolio site by the end of the summer. If I do that, I will probably continue a more personal , light hearted blog somewhere else on the internet at that time.

Here’s a fun little ad I did for my favorite bar in the city, The South Philadelpia Taproom. They asked me to parody the season 3 Office DVD cover.

Besides the fact that there aren’t leaves on most of the trees, it really didn’t feel like January today.

Papertrigger, tight rope walking, and upcoming things and Happy New Year 2008

January 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’m settling back in to Philadelphia after a whirlwind tour of the Poconos, Long Island and good ol’ Lebanon, PA for the holidays. It was nice to be able to spend some time with my family and Liz’s family as well as many good friends.

Before the break I did a short documentary, day in the life sort of deal, with the band Papertrigger. Some of you might remember I shot some promo pieces for them back in the summer. The band is fantastic and I encourage you all to catch a show of theirs when you can and listen to their EP. I put these images together as a gallery which is viewable by clicking the link in the bottom right of the screen.


While over the break I went out with my friend Brandon Long (owner of University Jerky) to shoot some photos, below is a digital composite we did in order to make it look as if he is tight rope walking a laundry line.

In other news, I’m now advertising on PDN’s Photoserve and Creative Hot List. I’ll be looking for more work as a magazine photographer and location based commercial advertising work. I’m also contemplating whether or not I should look for an agent so if anyone has any feedback on that issue - positive or negative - it will be appreciated.
