Read MoreA few years ago, I was retained to photograph a polo match for the magazine Hawaii Polo Life. I was interested in using the built-in focus tracking capabilities in the Nikon D3 I was using for these shots.

While the magazine never used any motion tracking images, a year later I received a call from a company in New York who had a client (HILTON Resorts) that wanted to purchase the image for use in a new resort in the Chicago area.

Read MoreI was introduced to the CEO of WYSE Technology through a close friend while living in San Francisco. WYSE was in the process of either being acquired or potentially listing on the NYSE.

In phase one we created a series of conceptual storyboards for the company to animate how a revised visual identity would look and how it would be deployed in a potential investor reel. These storyboards and design directions were approved. Luckily for WYSE (but unlucky for us), the company was acquired by Dell so our work was never able to come into its will form.

The logo is comprised of four fingerprints (from both little fingers & both thumbs) to create a butterfly. The non-profit’s name, CHAZARA (which I researched and was later adopted by the non-profit), is a shortened name of a butterfly that is indigenous to that region of Asia. The butterfly logo was created to represent a positive metamorphosis & freedom through education. Each student of the CHAZARA program was able to create their own butterfly with their own fingerprints.
