Back in April I received an assignment from the good people at Fortune to make a portrait of Trunk Club CEO Brian Spaly in Chicago. As all CEOs seem to be, Brian was quite busy, but was gracious enough to give me the time we needed to make some nice portraits.

Thanks to Fortune DOP Mia Diehl and Michele Taylor for the assignment tap.

I’m taking the rest of the week easy in order to spend some QT with family. Enjoy yourselves.

It took almost 30 days and 606 logged miles in order to complete this month’s Philly Mag feature. Oh, and it’s (probably) my last assignment for them - ever. Thanks for some good years, Philly Mag.

Check out this recap of WM’s trip to NYC, which includes a quick video look at my book. My little book did well, I guess. (Smiley face.)

As for the work on the table, favorites included Ryan Donnell …

Thanks Wonderful Machine.

If you all don’t know Chris Crisman then you’re not following photography. He and his team are shooting everything, for everyone, these days and taking home every industry recognition at the same time. And I can honestly say that “I knew him when…”
He and his studio manager Robert Luessen were kind enough to give me an embarrassingly nice shout out on Chris’ blog today. My life in 10 questions.

The American Photography 29 winner’s slideshow is finally up and I’m honored to be have an image from my polling project included with so many unbelievable photos from the past year. Thanks again to the photo and art staff @fortunemagazine for submitting my work.
