Where I steal my wife's phone...for work

I often use stock imagery in my professional writing, as it’s a fairly quick and efficient means of matching up the right photo or graphic to the story at hand.

But sometimes I just can’t find what I’m looking for. So I’ll pull the camera-camera out and have a little spontaneous photo session on my living room floor.

My wife’s phone is on the left. Mine’s on the right. I was rushing, so I let Mother Nature provide the gentle light and shadows.

I love this photo not so much because it’s groundbreaking. It isn’t. It’s just a couple of logos artfully arranged in the available light by the patio doors. But it emerged from a fun family moment where my personal and professional lives collided, and my family shrugged and smiled as I did my thing and cobbled together something from nothing.

In the end, my article - here - had just the right imagery to accompany it, and my peeps were left with another weird story from a memorable day.

Creative life. Words. Photos. Whatever. It’s what we do.
