So when a friend of mine recently asked me to design a website for her photography business, I jumped at the chance. After overworking the left hemisphere of my brain all day every day in the software business, I often feel like I need to pay more attention to my artistic endeavors, to prevent the right side of my brain from withering away entirely.

This was a fun project. And, the whole thing only took about a day and a half, from start to finish (including the code and the database), so it wasn’t too much of a distraction.

Anyhow, without further ado, I present to you: Emily Brown Photography

I’m pretty happy with how the website turned out, but I can’t really take much credit for it. I just tried to get out of the way and let her excellent photography speak for itself.

Last year, my good friend Daryn Tufts wrote and starred in a new movie called Stalking Santa.

I may be a little bit biased because he’s my friend, but still, the movie is hilarious and I fully expect it to become a big hit this winter.

Anyhow, this weekend, Stalking Santa premiers at the Vail Film Festival, in (of course) Vail, Colorado.

Watch the Stalking Santa trailer.

Check out the Vail Film Festival website and take a look at the screening schedule.

Congratulations, Daryn!!!
