Last Thursday brought a moment to my life that I had yet to experience in this career. I was lying at home in bed taking care of my daughter who had her first cold. Around 8pm, my BlackBerry (yes, I still use one, and am proud of it) started lighting up with text messages. It was the annual ADDY Awards ceremony that night and I was fortunate to be a part of many winning campaigns last.
It was at that moment that I found an interesting crossover between fatherhood and brotherhood… I missed the opportunity to sit next to my family at the ADDYs (and I genuinely do consider many people in this industry family) and celebrate taking home some Gold ADDYs (this is the video that was playing in my mind). However, at that moment, I knew I was right where I was supposed to be.
From the clients that took chances in hiring me and put their faith behind me to create their vision, to the crew that stood beside me on set and made it possible to create, congratulations on a successful evening and well-deserved awards for your hard work. I wanted to post some images from the winning campaigns and will be talking about them over the next couple of weeks. Enjoy some images and check back on Thursday to see how we took Gold with a campaign I probably had no business shooting…
