Book Update and Working with Artists

A quick update on my book:  we're just wrapping up the editing, and in the process of doing photo shoots for the cover design.  I'm really excited to be working with artist and photographer Tracey Frugoli.  With a background as an award winning artist and painter, Tracey has a terrific eye for color, composition, and balance, and I'm really enjoying the creative process of working with her on my photos.  You can see some of her paintings HERE, and her photography HERE.

On a related topic, I'm also really excited to be working with Tracey Frugoli, photographer Craig Stocks (see my blog post from May 21), and a handful of other highly talented artists and arts enthusiasts creating a special marketing campaign for local arts events during National Arts and Humanities Month in October.  Tracey and Craig have been spearheading a truly amazing project featuring a series of artistic photos of local artists and supporters of the arts that will appear on television and other media during October.  Stay tuned for more details as it gets closer.

With Tracey's help, the cover photography and design on my book should be pretty cool.  I won't give it away just yet, but in the meantime, here's a little teaser:  at the end of our first photo session, Tracey wanted to take a few simple headshots of me just for fun.  Here's her favorite:
