marketing via social networks :: my approach

Recently, in the ole lands of facebook, Google + and Tumblr, where today's "in" crowds socialize, I had posted the first of a series of pop quizzes that had brought a bit of attention, a spike in the stats, to the pages in which I post. Responses weren't through the roof but the eyeballs sure were watching. Hey, I can't help but check stats from time to time.

Today I had the urge for some belly filling, unhealthy cuisine. Why? Well, I spent much of the previous day with the one and only John Flaherty. What does one have to do with the other?

As of today, the actual task of filming is about 50% complete. Being generous, I'd give the team and myself a 60% completion status.

If you haven't been on my blog radar for a bit, please, follow along with today's post and catch up with what's going on.

Knowing your technique inside and out is great. Having the ability to dial in exposure in nanoseconds when working a high pressured shoot is priceless. But, let me just say that even the masters can get forgetful and even sloppy from time to time, in regards to technique.

"I instantly became weak in my knees." 
The Saturday afternoon was bright and sunny. The temperature was finally giving Philadelphians a sign of hope that spring had sprung. The streets were crowded with tourists, food enthusiasts, theater goers and most annoyingly, drunkards.

Whether from out of town or from local neighborhoods, the drunkards always rear their ugly heads at the first signs of spring. Often, they show up in pubs and eateries that on most occasions, would have never thought of crossing the threshold of such a nice establishment. It can get a bit irritating but who am I to complain? I love when the streets are filled with life. Intoxicated or not, it's nice to see that summer is on its way. And hey, I'm no stranger to a delicious adult beverage or two.

Hell, this is exactly where I'm taking you today, down the road to Utopia.
