We all know it’s a jungle out there, especially in the current economic climate. In a new book titled The Photographer’s Survival Guide, Suzanne Sease and Amanda Sosa Stone have put together a handbook that all shooters?newbies and veterans alike?can turn to as they battle the elements. Page 107 showcases a print ad featuring CDP imagery as an example of smart pro bono work. The authors write, “One of the best ways to get exposure is to work pro bono. Art directors seem to do their best work pro bono, and such work often gets into the awards shows and contests. This image by Chris Davis won an award in Archive, a highly respected international publication.” We’re honored and humbled by the mention, and hope this guidebook helps keep us all from having to eat bugs.

The new sign for the month of May was very positive. We’re having a lot of fun with the DRIVERS email campaign and the response has been great! The website will have the entire collection, just in case you missed the exit back there!

We’ve rolled out a new email campaign I like to call “Drivers.” It’s for you art directors out there who are in the driver’s seat every day! Instead of getting stuck in that stock photo traffic jam, give us a call. You might be surprised that you can afford a custom ride after all.

These are a few of the images created for the latest series at our amazing church – www.portcitychurch.org The series is about helping people right here in our own community.   Art Direction – Evan Vetter.

Great news: We just found out that Mobile Bay Addys awarded Best of Show to the Alabama State Port Authority print ads I worked on with Art Director Stephean Grimes (Red Square in Mobile, AL). The work will be forwarded on to the regional and then national (hopefully!) Addy Awards. Congrats to all of the folks at Red Square and the Port Authority who assisted with this assignment. See the ads below; for more pictures from this shoot, look for the July 18th, 2008 post titled “Shootin’…” earlier in this blog.
