Hot

It has been hot. Especially up in my office. I try to lay low during daylight hours and then start moving around at night. Apparently it could be dangerous to do so.

Website Updated

Man, I feel like it is my birthday... my updated website is DONE! Check it out and then wait for the photo mailers to show up in your mailbox. New photos by me, new logo by Eric Lovejoy and new updates by Josh Spivey, I give you WWW.NEILDACOSTA.COM

Product

Since I know a lot of designers here in town and they always need product photos, I decided to put some together. So the past couple of days have been spent in my make shift studio clicking away. I only leave 3 times a day to take the pup to the park. Benchmade would be proud

Just in Time

Finished the first run of the portfolio just in time for the good weather. Website updates are in the works and then I hit the post office to mail out my 1000 mailers. Then hopefully I get at least 1 job.

Portfolio

Lots of walks down 28th to the coffee shop the past few days. At least the weather has been bad so I do not feel guilty about sitting behind a computer screen looking at photos all day. The weather has changed and the first run of my book is about down. I think this weekend has some photo taking in store for it.

A God Damned Shame

"I'll have a Polish Super Sausage from the grill with chili and cheese and a rootbeer please" You won't hear that coming from my mouth anytime soon. What were the owner's of The Dog House thinking when they renamed it Franks A-Lot. Are you kidding me? Fools. We thought the yellow paint job last week was pushing it and then the name change. As Lovejoy put it "Franks a lot for nothing"

BBQ

Summer is off to a slow start, but it isn't stopping the Qing action. Our weber has been warm for the past few days straight. But you don't need a deck and a charcoal grill to have a good time. Someone here was getting it done in their driveway with a hibachi grill.

Little Charlie

Shot some photos of Johnny's trailer right before he came and moved it. I was able to bribe Chris with some savory Du's chicken to pose for a few. Man, I forgot how much fun shooting with a Haaselblad is. These two even made it into the first round of my portfolio

Chugging Away

This photo stuff is an uphill battle. Mailers should be done this week. Portfolio printed and assembled by Friday. And then hopefully the website revamp by early next week. Then I sit back and the jobs coming flowing in... right?!?!

Home Sweet Home

Back to Portland for the end of spring. Lots of rain, but it is still better than Salt Lake. Time to start really hauling on my non-shred photo projects.
