Something exciting happened in January.
A shot I did of a bloody mary for work was on the cover!!!!!
This is kind of special for a few reasons: usually the cover photos are done in studio/on location by more seasoned photographers and while my work has been on the cover before [it was a collage of images, some were mine, some weren't] this was the first time one photo of mine made up the cover at large.
I was thrilled when I found out. It had been a hectic month and this made it all worth it. Naturally I begged our front desk person to give me the blown up size that is always displayed.
Like I've mentioned before, sometimes I feel weird writing about my success because I know people out there are looking for work and can't find it let alone do a job they love. Believe me when I say that I am grateful every single day! I am proud of what I do and worked hard to get to this beautiful place.
Strangely enough my favorite shots from this issue were drinks-- I like photographing liquid I think. These are coffee + pastry/bakery parings and then good ol' bloody mary's.
