...or, Get In Where You Fit In. When Wells Fargo contacted me to use one of my images, in an ad campaign to reintroduce their retail banking operation to the NYC area, I was honored. When they told me which image they wanted to use, I had to chuckle.

I tested some jewelry from Stuart Moore recently - Corian rings with diamonds. I really like their modern designs, and their gallery is the Apple Store of jewelry. They're super nice and so I decided...octopus.
It turns out the octopus I shot for my portfolio was huge - the ones I was finding for this shoot were a quarter or an eighth the size of that one. My original plan was to build a kind of landscape with the octopus arms, and nestle the rings in it, but since I couldn't find a large enough octopus, I did this. I actually like this better, because the spirals formed by the arms are really nice.
The the array of gems on the white ring is what triggered the octopus idea.
Shot this in the middle of the night, after shooting the jewelry on white, for a client. I've moved jewelry into my territory now.

Wells Fargo History has published one of the books that features images I shot for them in early 2010. The book has a wealth of information about US history, through the lens of Wells Fargo, of course, but the company's been around for so long, and been so central, it's a fascinating read. For example, the first Federal bank charter ever was granted to an ancestor of Wells Fargo Bank.
Most of the photos of three dimensional objects are mine. It's nice to see them in print.
