It's only February, how can we already be beind on the blog?!

Yerz trewly with Junior Seau and Kurt Warner. Shaking Junior's hand was like grabbing a ham--that's one big paw!
Really, does it get mo' better than this? Uh-uh.
On the phone with a client during our last few hours in Hawaii. She says I look like Toby Keith.

How cool is this? 5 hours before kick-off our very cool clients called and asked if we'd like tickets to the game. Um, YEA-UHH! And this is the view from our seats; 25 rows up from the field in the corner of the Giants' end zone. Wowie! Since we'd met and chatted with Peyton Manning earlier that day we were rooting for his little bro', and we were one row of Giants fans in an enclave of Pats fans. Pretty fun. Pretty loud, too. In the mens room after the game some of the Pats fans starting whooping it up and shouting "Go Celtics!" Love those New England fans....always looking towards The Next Big Thing.

Mark and I are prepping gear and finalizing details for our next big trip. I logged into the blog to see when we posted last to find, to my amazement, that even though it is only February 19th we are already behind by FIVE trips. It's been a whirlwind start to 2008, to say the least...

We got back from London on New Years Eve Day, since then Mark has been in Detroit, Michigan covering the Auto Show, I've been to Austin, Texas to do a really amazing field of flowers shoot which involved carting in over 6000 stems of daisies - and came with the added bonus of being able to attend Kendra and Mitch's really lovely wedding. That same week we flew to New York to cover the ASHRAE show and then had just a couple of days before getting to Phoenix, Arizona to cover the Super Bowl and events - . From there it was a quick three day break in Honolulu before covering the Pro Bowl and events as well. Phew! That brings us to the middle of February.

So, on Thursday Mark and Ryan set off for the Middle East leg of our current productions: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Riyadh, and Jeddah. I'll be starting in the UK for an extended lifestyle photo shoot and then meeting up with Mark in Cairo. We'll be shooting in Cairo for close to a week then off to Nersac, France and then Bratislava. It's looking like once we are in Slovakia we'll be running about to shoot in Trencin, Zilina, Namestovo, the Czech Republic and Ceska Lipa before we have to catch our train back to Vienna to get flights through London to get home to Chicago at the end of March.

We'll do our best to post photos and at least short updates to the Blog while we travel. So check back when you have some time, or need a break from watching You-Tube videos!

best,
