“Christopher Dock All School Social 7″
For teenagers, badminton is serious business. 
The other day I posted a picture of my first billboard image on bookface. It was an image I took for Christopher Dock Mennonite High School. An image of several kids jumping (shown HERE) was made into a large billboard to promote their wonderful high school. I am totally flattered and honored that my first billboard image is being used to promote education and Dock HS. In my bookface post I mentioned that even though the jumping photo was the right choice and looks great on a billboard, it still wasn’t one of my absolute favorites from that assignment. Thankfully, I was working with a good editor (Jay Gordon) who has years of experience in the publishing and print world. He correctly saw the value of the photo and knew it was the right choice for this particular ad campaign. This is one of those things you learn as you live and breath in the photography industry—working with good people is key to success.
Admitting that the jumping image HERE wasn’t one of my favorites (even though I do like it very much and know it was a great choice for this billboard), prompted several of my photography geeks friends to ask me to post a few of my favs from the assignment. I thought this was a fine idea. This photoblog is generally a personal blog, but given that most of my favs from this assignment have an intimate and less commercial or corporate feel to them, I felt it would blend well with the rest of my personal blog posts. So I have decided to spend a few days posting some of my favs from this assignment. The images were all captured on a day the schools calls, Dock’s All School Social. A day filled with a mix of studies and play before the beginning of summer. If you live nearby and have a high schooler in the family take a serious look at Dock—it is an amazing school with smart, creative and loving faculty and staff. http://www.dockhs.org/
