Honesty in Advertising

I don't really make fake billboards anymore, but I wish I did, because sometimes they made me laugh.

Meet Flat Justice

Lots of people have heard of Flat Stanley, the flat guy who travels the world as a way for students to learn about community-building.

A friend of mine (a second grade teacher in Albany, New York) has a student in her class who decided Las Vegas needed a visit from Flat Justice instead!

Ordinary people just take pictures with their flat friend. But this is Vegas, so video seemed a better idea! Flat Justice and I had a great time sightseeing in Las Vegas!

Duran Duran: For the Record

For the record. I know you have music you like, which is fine. That does not impact, however, the fact Duran Duran is the best band in the history of pop music.

Toys 4 Smiles Gets Some Ink

Toys 4 Smiles, the Vegas nonprofit my dad cuts wooden cars for, got some sweet ink in the Las Vegas Sun. Check it out.



My dad's the one that looks thrilled to be having his photo taken.

Carolyn Goodman May Be the Next Mayor of Las Vegas

While roaming on Fremont Street (in downtown Las Vegas) an evening or two ago, I had a chance encounter with mayoral candidate Carolyn Goodman. Her husband is Oscar Goodman, the legendary Vegas mayor whose final term is up soon due to term limits. Bummed about that.

Anyway, Carolyn Goodman was taping what appeared to be a campaign of some sort, and I jumped behind the camera, caught her eye and snagged exactly three exposures. I was happy with the result!



Hanging out around the taping really gave me a sense of Carolyn Goodman's demeanor and personality, and I have to say, she's as likable and funny as her husband. She also didn't freak out when she saw my camera. Pretty sure if I vote, she'll get mine.
