Kern Me Please!

Great weather today. I took Kephren to soccer practice. While I was there I asked two older hispanic gentlemen if I could take pictures of them play a bit of soccer. They both smiled and said something that I didn't understand, so I took that as a yes. I hope some of them turn out ok. I was using a wide angle lens so it may turn out blurry.
Today Amber told me that I made it into the finals for the Advanced E. Logos. Wendy also has a logo that made it. I havn't seen Wendy's but I think Amber's is a sure shot to win this one. I like her logo but I don't black and red are the right colors just because it is the same color scheme as Advance Auto.
Below is an Ad I did for Virgin Mobile. Over the summer I was contacted by Look Look Magazine about doing an ad for them. It was a contest sent out to certain people in which they had viewed their work. I think they sent out about twenty invites for the chance at the V. Mobile ad. It was great because at the time I did this, the phone in the ad wasn't even out yet. The theme of the ad had to be "Befriending a Mime". Do you know how many summer nights I stayed up brain storming that? Geez, it drove me nuts. They didn't supply any copy so I had to make that up as well. Target audience 18-30 years old etc... It may not look it but I put quite a few hours into the ad. Sweating all the details. In the end they contacted me telling me that some guy named Ben won it. I saw his ad a few weeks later in an issue of People Magazine. The ad went national in several magazines. Oh well. At least I tried.
