Branding ihpoc

It has become time to be official with my photography brand. I asked a friend to help me design a new logo and in the process a new brand. I am still in love my In Hot Pursuit of Color concept and therefore still wanted to use ihpoc main verbiage. I am planning on putting together a proper website in time to continue to promote my photography, but for now, what do you think of the new logo and new banner for this site?

I will be using the white version of the logo for watermarking my picture, but for my banner and site, I fell in love with the colored version. I am so thankful for the help of Joe Brudlos, graphic designer extraordinaire for his amazing talents!

More Tenth Ave North

I took more than I needed at the Tenth Avenue North concert, which is why I realized, I just can’t put them all out here. Instead I posted the majority of them out on Facebook and I will just put a few additional favorites out here.

The band came and played a game with the folks hanging out in the hospitality room.

If I haven’t learned anything, I have learned that there are no rules on what you wear or what shoes you decide to put on. Seriously, I think ANYTHING goes!

My friend’s son was able to participate in the game and even won his mom a gift certificate to Crafts Direct.

They had AJ Cheek and Rachel Smith open for them with some acoustic playing. I really enjoyed them and even went out and bought Rachel’s EP. Clarisse and I listened to it on the way to my mom’s and have a couple of favorites. We wish she had some faster stuff on her cd too, but overall liked her style. If you follow this link, you can even download one of her songs for free.

Then the lead singer came out and encouraged us all to look at Compassion International booth and consider sponsoring a child. IMG_4040

We took a little intermission and then when we returned, Tenth Avenue North rocked the place!

They ended the night and then sang another song with Rachel and AJ before they were really off.

Thanks Spirit 92.9 for letting me come in and take pictures. I really, really have fun doing it!
