The past week has been a blend of work and play. There are a few pots boiling and I find myself jumping from one to the other, tending each flame. It's a good feeling to have after such a period of reflection and relaxation. I'm excited for what's to come.
Thanks to some generous contacts in NYC, I've found myself back at work in the art buying/photo production world. And the people I have met have been incredibly open and inviting. On my first day working with a photo agency, I attended a shoot and that same evening went with them to the Diente 08 award party at Konex. Scanning a sea of some 500+ skinny jeans-clad, Converse sneaker-wearing, asymmetric haircut-donning advertising professionals made me feel like I was back in NYC. Was a shock to my system after 3 months of rest from the ad scene, but I was happy for that jolt. And extremely grateful to be there, right in the middle within 24 hours of making a phone call. Buenos Aires is amazing that way. Argentines are open and want to know who you are and where you come from. And they open their world to you. Here are some photos from that night.
In the next few weeks, I'll meet with as many advertising agencies, photography agencies and production companies as possible in hopes that I can somehow connect NYC and Buenos Aires. With the economy in the state that it's in, it seems now is a good time. The dollar goes much further down here and there is some good talent. More to come.
