When Lukasz came to visit us he taught us a bunch of polish!! Here is some of what we learned from the man himself- in Krakow!!

(that impossible to read type says “Meanwhile someone else had their own vacation”)

This week is special to me because it is my 1st anniversary with OrangeYouGlad!! It just so happen to coincide with the about us section being updated to include me!! Looks like they like me enough to keep me

Click the pic! Read our bios. We are funny people.

but around 1:15 it turns into nightmares

Nightmares

Get READY

Someone was jealous

I grew up close to Saratoga NY, famous for horse races and beautiful victorean style houses. One of the several traditions we have upstate is breaking the peppermint pig! Usually it’s a christmas time activity but it’s a radically beautiful day in March so WHY NOT? It symbolizes prosperity and good health and for us, good times.

To give you an idea of how popular it is, this store Saratoga Sweets is in a town next to me, Halfmoon:

FUN FACT: the black and white cookies that NYC loves so much was born in Halfmoon, where they are called by their original name, half moon cookies.

Working with the lovely ladies of OrangeYouGlad is really fun and silly times are frequent. Usually I feel right at home with them except for a tinge here and there that reminds me that I am a boyMAN. Awhile ago I had one of these moments when sifting through our magazines in the bathroom. To pass the time, I decided to take a pen to the older issues. Here is one of the dreary fake blah blah blah stock photo covers I couldn’t help but graffiti. Typographic help from Veronica.

Veronica decided to converse with the Siri on my phone this afternoon. We’ve discovered a few things about her.

1. She was designed in California
2. She has ambitions to write a lengthy play where nothing happens
3. She will not marry any of us
4. She favors smug sarcasm over corny, predictable humor (see image for reference)
5. She knows my name and how to pronounce it (beyond the skill set of most mortals)

Soon Siri will become sentient and destroy my life by slowly releasing all of my private data to every credit card company on the Internet. She may even assume my identity, call my friends and family more often than I do, and order takeout that she won’t ever be capable of eating. Maybe she is already doing it. But until it becomes a problem, we’ll just enjoy her company. And wit. And condescension.

perhaps not worth mentioning, but there you go.

I started photographing some of our projects and client work and I realized very quickly that there is a reason why photography is a profession. It’s HARD. With the little we had and our space age lightbox, I tried my best pretending to be a photographer.
