One of the benefits of working in a smaller city is that you get to photograph friends from time to time for national clients.We just finished a cover shoot for Canadian Jeweler magazine with Pat Thompson of Diamond Design in St. John's, Newfoundland. Always a pleasurable shoot. Thanks, Pat!

WHEW! ...we've finally finished the redesign of the Sound Symposium website. It's been rebuilt from scratch with a new content management system, on a new server, that will allow for online presentations and performances as well has house the the massive audio, image, video and artwork archives that Sound Symposium has collected over the past 25 years. The digitizing of this analogue collection has been going on since last summer (I think we are up to S and T now) and with any luck it will start appearing online by the end of this year.

Special thinks to Kathy Clark-Wherry and Jean Donelson at Sound Symposium, the Tech Elves at NL PRESS and the wizard himself, David Schmidt at Fusix.
