So not much to say here other than enjoying armchair travel essay over at Sara’s blog:
SF-based agency Duncan Channon chose local (okay, he had to cross the GG Bridge) artist Heimo Schmidt to bring his eye to the quirky Gnarly Head brand. And everyone was home in time for dinner.
For several years now, Bill Cash and crew have been, and not metaphorically either, tearing it up for CP+B/VW on locations around the U.S. And for those of us who found ourselves not embedded and sweating it up on location, sharing here a few of our favorite outtakes from these last rounds of production:
For those of us living and working in San Francisco, I can say I am one of those that might take for granted that I get to see Erik Almås images via our local 7×7 Magazine. Why fix something that isn’t close to broken in this case means that Erik has been saying yes 2-to-3 times per year for the last six years for fashion shoots. For those that don’t know and most likely haven’t seen those passion productions of Erik and crew gracing the pages, we thought it would be tasty to share these Alice in Wonderland inspired images…(FYI you can see some original shoot outtakes via this blog posted February 4th)
Few tidbits: Production coordinated over various time zones. Original set scouted was, albeit shot, ultimately, not usable. Plan B involves Erik digging into his sketch and inspiration books plus combing through the EAP’s stock library. Also a question on if Maggie Rizer can reschedule her shoot date—um, no. Ultimately reaching out for post production help.
“This shoot was truly a collaboration—Maggie, nine people on the set, plus four people working on the backend. It was like a mini orchestra, where we all play what we’re best at, and the result was one harmonious accomplishment.”

That’s a wrap.
When we sent out the email to the group sharing that Timothy’s “Robots Are Real” series would be included in Photo District New’s Photo Annual, it was indicative of a true family that support was immediate and heartfelt:
From Erik Almås:
Sweet sweetness! Congrats!!
You get to carry the Tidepool torch on this one! And let’s meet up and chat art…
From Sara Remington:
Yay Timothy! You ROCK!
From Thierry Bearzatto:
Dear Timothy,
Toutes mes felicitations !!
From Bill Cash:
Cool! Congratulations Timothy!
Nice job TA.
3 weeks - December 26-January 17th - 8 finishes. To quote Erik: “I was retouching like a monkey through Christmas to hit the first deadline of 2 pictures by January 9th”. Certainly a highly qualified monkey…and culminating in last weeks DM.

It’s award time in the entertainment industry where the best-of-the-best give their moment of televised thanks to all those that have helped propel them to the place of where they now find themselves standing. So, not to be undone over here at the Tidepool, we’d like to take a moment to give thanks to the talent that motivates us to get up every day and give it our best. And speaking of agent/artist collaborative, came across this posting over on A Photo Editor – a place where industry discussions always makes for good reading.
And now without further interruptions….
One in a new series on studies of liquids. I titled it “Jellyfish”—and Thierry lets me.
These next 4 are part of a ten-year project that Heimo started called 17 Reasons. The 17 Reasons sign was part of San Francisco’s Mission District and a title he picked for this project to inspire taking 17 new pictures of people in San Francisco. Originally started as 8X10 cross processed polaroids, it also produced color images as well and we’re proud to feature them here:
For Best of CGI in a category of conceptual for a client to-maybe-be-named-later…
And although you might think he’s all about anything Automobilia—okay, you’d be correct. This a 1960’s Indianapolis Racer, in Bill’s words: “Anything vintage and fast!”
Most current postcard. It’s a labor of pure forever love for his series entitled Echolilia.
