Photo Wrapup: Art of the Blog_ + No Kings Collective Launch by @ReadysetDC w/ @DG_rad & @PoPville

ReadysetDC's Art of the Blog_ event welcomes guest speakers Dan Silverman (@PoPville) and David Garber (@DG_rad). Afterwards, No Kings Collective celebrate their official launch, with music by Sean Peoples of Fatback and artwork by Francisco Esteban, Brandon Hill and Peter Chang. See live-streamed photos of the event. View the invite & press.


L-R: Dan Silverman, David Garber, and Justin Young


Dan Silverman (the Prince!) and David Garver speak on blogging styles, reader retention, and how to manage blogging lifestyles. Their approach to community issues and social responsibility sets them apart--a focus on the people & ideas that in turn engange them.

Because the focus of this event was on blogs and the written word, we wanted to do something related to words, and the typographically-inspired transitions in this video seem to do just that. More >

With this video, we wanted to create a much higher energy ambience.  The paint splatter transitions relate to the art gallery setting and the multiple background colors give the impression that there is more going on than simply a cycle of three logos. More >

Photos: The Embassy of Finland Goes Green (@PinkLineProject & @traclay) #fb

A huge thanks to Philippa P.B. Hughes with the Pink Line Project for inviting me to shoot at last night's green celebration at the Finnish Embassy. The embassy celebrates its LEED certification, becoming the first and only green embassy in the U.S. (see their story here). What an amazing building! Pink Line brought art, music & performing arts together for the occasion, featuring some of our best local talent.


Media gals Emily and Maura Judkis (those drinks look pretty swanky!).

Are We the Laziest Developed Country in the World?

Inspired by the Winter Olympics currently being played in Vancouver, the Daily Beast decided to give out virtual medals—for not the most athletic countries, but the laziest. Starting with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's member countries with extensive data available (24 developed countries), the site took four factors into account: calories per day, television viewing, aversion to playing sports, and Internet usage. After weighing the factors, the Daily Beast found that the United States took home gold as the laziest developed country in the world.
