Alive 2007

So yesterday was awesome. I landed and headed straight out to meet up with Jim Foust who is working on starting a media school here where they'll bring in artists of all sorts and work with them as they start or grow their careers. It's a pretty exciting thing and he's also putting together an organization that will help fund these startup artists because more and more artists are getting savvy and realizing that if they're creative they're probably better off avoiding the traditional sources for funding like labels and publishers.


We watched as a new band inhale/exhale worked on a music video in the studio. Super fun to watch that process.

Then I met up with Nick Coury from BuckeyeColor lab (who connected me with Jim) and Dan Speicher for dinner and then headed to find Crysal Hutchinson at the opening night of the alive concert.

David,

It has been great meeting you and spending time together. Thanks for your friendship and I'm sure we'll hook up again soon. Maybe when I come to CA in August to photograph a wedding?
