We went to all four campuses yesterday and I was in total admiration of the process that Jerry and art director Bonnie go through to set up each shot. What is this story trying to tell? What are the restrictions for using the photo in the publication, like where will the headline go? Will the gutter be right in the middle of this faculty member's face? And then trying to make it a compelling, emotionally appealing photo on top of all that! It's no small feat.
Also inspired by the beauty of ASU's campuses and their impressive facilities, I decided to use my Blackberry and do my own photo shoot. As you will see, this is why our clients pay Jerry!

This was our first location of the day, the Power Road Farmer's Market. All the produce was displayed so attractively!
This is the news studio in the Cronkite School of Journalism where students deliver newscasts in both English and Spanish!
This is the Arizona State tree, the palo verde (literally green stick/pole) all over the Polytechnic campus!

Here is the whole crew setting up the shot of the solar oven. It was the most challenging shot of the day because of how reflective the panels are. It takes a village to shoot a student and an oven...

This is our version of a solar oven. Yes, warming a chocolate chip cookie on the dash in the hot Southwest sun.

New art installation in Downtown Phoenix over the Civic Space Park. It's called “Her secret is patience” by Janet Echelman. It was just erected on Monday! The City of Phoenix press release found here.
And finally, no trip to Tempe is complete without great eats. Bonnie introduces me to the Pita Jungle. The jalapeno-cilantro hummus might have been the best hummus I've ever had!
