geoff_story_pic Two of my favorite things – Mad Art Gallery and Photography. The show f/3 opens at Mad Art Gallery and features three artists Leah Oates, Shawn Michelle Smith and Geoff Story. Opening reception is from from 7-11pm tomorrow night, Oct. 2, 2009. The show runs through Oct. 27.

Geoff Story is one of my favorite photographers with a talent for capturing people – whether as a freelancer or as the associate creative director at TOKY Branding + Design. I’ve unwittingly been on the other side of his lens more than once, and though i hate being in front of the camera, it is his work that I chose for my Facebook profile pic. This is a show to check out!

Affordable Video & SEO

Stacey Rynders

apple-dell-hp-visitsRight now, one of the fastest ways to boost your Web site’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is to add video. Recently, Mary Krummenacher introduced me to Activated Marketing – a rather affordable route for small and medium businesses to integrate video into Web sites. For instance, a video cast starts at $580. This includes the actors, script, production and basic graphics. Extra features might boost the price tag and so can the intricacy of the project, but Activated Marketing is certainly making video more affordable to the masses. Even better, for an extra fee Activated Marketing can place the videos in emails and pdf’s. Technology is a lovely thing.

If you are interested in a Video Cast or Video Feature, email Mary for more information.

Avedon Photos

avedon_image Check out the hommage to Richard Avedon in the latest edition of The New Yorker. These are captivating fashion pictures and span the many decades that Avedon has influenced fashion photography. There is nothing quite like a timeless, artistic image that truly captures the mood of a brand or product. The New Yorker offers a slideshow of 15 images, but should you be in New York City from May 15 – September 6 be sure to visit the exhibit at the International Center of Photography.
