Artifacts

Obviously, this is the coolest coffee mug that either of us have ever seen... and oh yes, it is mine! This is one of the only things that I bought while on assignment for ESPN a couple of weeks ago in Guantanamo Bay, and I'm already kicking myself that I didn't buy a whole case. The feature on the wakeboarding trip to Cuba is in this week's issue (which I still haven't found a copy of down in South Florida), and I'll post a clip hopefully later this week when I finally get my hands on one.

Until then, here is another new clip from the Spring '07 issue of Sherman's Travel with an assignment I did for them on the art & design scene/shopping in Miami. What was especially cool about this job was that it was all located in my neighborhood and I got to meet some new people and learn a bit more about my community, which I always really appreciate. They ended up using pics in the TOC, then a jump page, and then the spread. (Click for a larger version).

Hey John,

I saw your Guantanamo spread in ESPN mag. Nice work. I love the Caribbean light. Nothing like it. Given the number of shots you took for that assignment must have been tough editing the shots for the client.

Nice work.

Thanks a lot, Sherman --

I think I ended up sending my editor about 140 images from the assignment... so yeah, it was probably hard on both of our ends finding the right selection to represent the trip, especially given the access and context difficulties.

That truly is a really cool mug! I am looking forward to see photographs and spreads from your ESPN assignment in Guantanamo!
