What a great week! Adweek (last week), was full of seminars, evening get togethers and portfolio reviews. My most productive part of the week was last Tuesday for the One Club's ( http://www.oneclub.org/ ) event "Where Are All The Black People? ". A Photographer giving a pitch? Yup, that's right, in a small theatre full of about 200 or so industry creatives, I was one of less than 20 chosen to 'pitch' (myself). There were art directors, copy editors, and producers, but I was the only photographer. This was a full day of panel discussions on minority presence within the ad world, as well as a few hours of portfolio reviews by top advertising agency representatives. The morning started off with a short panel discussion of how each (minority) panelist got into advertising, followed by an hour or so of 3 minute pitches by bot aspiring and emerging artists. The short clip within this blog, is a glimpse of my pitch.

I certainly look forward to more events produced by the One Club, ad this proved to be a huge success.
