This was a really fun block-party! Friends and Family on a beautiful, almost-summer day…

Grilling and getting ready for Summer Fun!

This project was great fun – good elements….. Diversity, food, health and energy.

We had the help of good models from Modelogic (thanks Stacie and Dana) and good locations and props provided by Double Image.

Getting ready for Summer fun right around the corner!

We’ve worked with The Box Creative for many years on The Greek Festival poster… Always a great shoot! Take a look! We can’t wait for the baklava…

We recently had the opportunity to be a part of a diversity campaign for McGuire Woods legal firms…

McGuire Woods is a  great firm that has  a lot of strength with their diversity initiatives.

We photographed in different locations from Washington, DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Virginia and North Carolina,

over the course of several months to create ads and a specialized annual report of some of

their top partners…

We were approached by Popular Photography to give photo tips and travel experiences and they listed us as one of their expert photographers in their April 2010 issue. They wanted to hear about our Iceland adventures and we were happy to share our experience!

As we return to Barichara, we were invited to visit my fathers childhood home. The look on the faces of his siblings as they entered and experienced so many things that were similar to decades ago were lovely. We continued to view the town, the park named in my uncle’s honor, the little drug store my grandfather owned and supported his family with, the house and the local flavor. The chapel, where my father was baptized, still projects all services over an intercom for the city to hear.

The adventure continued, Susan stayed in the town of San Gil. This is the town where her father went to high school. There was a trip to the Parque Nacional of Chicomocha.
The park can be accessed on a tram ride that dips to the bottom of the mountain and within 35 minutes to the top. Dishes of wonderful meats skewered, arepas, yuga and cold cervesas awaited us. Delicious foods and views from the top.

Susan traveled back to Colombia last week to take a short journey to her father’s hometown in the Santander region of Colombia. It was a very special trip, with her father and his 3 sisters that had decided to reunite together for several days. It had been over 40 years since they had all traveled back to their roots.

From Bogota, the town of Barichara was 8 hours away, traveling through small towns, immersed in Spanish and culture, eating at great local stands and experiencing the beauty of the Santander region. The stories of childhood and the sound of 4 siblings was muy chevere as they say!
