So, presented my ads in class; my professor (a professional fine arts photographer and previous worker on Madison Avenue in his younger years) said out loud to everyone while I was presenting that "this person standing up here right now has the best sense of how to write articulate, hard-selling body copy in this whole class. So, if you need body copy ideas, or need your copy edited, go see him, because this is
fantastic stuff...this is stuff that gets you jobs."
Win.
And for people interested in his photography (because it is excellent), check out a few of his prints. He
does not use Photoshop. These are all done in the darkroom or on the camera using optical illusions and very carefully staged people/scenes, usually himself actually.

And here he is, the old Finnish-born mofo, in all his glory.
