Some highlights from the Blue Ribbon Dairy Products Auction. Over $45,000 was raised for scholarships and towards promoting the dairy industry at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Congratulations to Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese on being named the 2022 Grand Master Cheesemaker! The Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board always does a great job putting on this event, running DairyLane and the grilled cheese stand.
Beef. It's what's for dinner.
This cuts of meat chart I designed for Shriver Meats, located in Maryland. The printed sign will measure 24"x36" and be displayed in their market for customers to see the specific cuts they offer. Entire design was done in Adobe Illustrator and is all vector art.
Finally got my hands on this book, A Century of Farm Photos, from the AAEA- The Ag Communicators Network! I played a small part in its making by helping with some original design direction and gathering historical dairy photos. Some of my photography is also featured in it. The extremely talented Jim Patrico (editor,photographer) and Donovan Harris (Art Director) did an excellent job on the book.
Recently finished this shirt design and illustration for an east coast based dairy farmer/florist.
Recently finished logo for Hopkins Family Farm Meats. Offering delicious, locally raised, pork and beef from a seventh generation family farm.
Happy to learn during todays AAEA- The Ag Communicators Network virtual awards ceremony that I earned an honorable mention in the pictorial photography category. This was a part of an online feature I captured for Advanced Content by Red Barn Media Group and myfarmlife.com.
Check out the latest cover of Hoard's Dairyman featuring one of my photos! Hard to believe it's already been almost two years since I made the switch to freelancing full-time. Thankfully agriculture remains a big part of the work I do. Just yesterday I was on a dairy farm shooting some training videos for a client. Luckily it was all in the parlor as it was a very rainy day.
Farms have always had the health and safety of both their employees and animals as their highest priority. Yesterday was no different. There were multiple hand washing stations set up even before you'd enter a building. Both myself and the staff were all wearing face masks, gloves, and additional protective gear. No one is better at adapting to life's challenges than a farmer.
Now that peak photography season has passed I've been able to finish up some larger projects. This week I completed a series of videos for the National Dairy Shrine archives. Learned some new skills in order to clean up some of the older audio recordings from the 1950's.
Fort Atkinson is very fortunate to have top notch museums like the Dairy Shrine and the Hoard Historical Museum.
My next project is a large website rebuild and rebrand for an association. Will be able start some decoy carving after Christmas too.
We had a nice mix of both autumn and winter for the Uglow's maternity session this evening on their family farm outside of Watertown, WI.
Happy to learn that I earned two first place awards in the photography division at Ag Media Summit last night and moved up to level five in the Master Photographer program.
Congratulations to my friend and ag photography icon, Jim Patrico (front center), on earning the AAEA Lifetime Achievement Award. Also congratulations to my friend Corral Creek Communications (Martha Mintz on earning the Photographer of the Year award!
AAEA- The Ag Communicators Network is hosting their 100th Anniversary next year in Kansas City. I've been helping create a book to commemorate the milestone and showcase the changes in ag publishing over the past 100 years.
