Finn’s Time Magazine shoot
I had the pleasure of shooting for Time Magazine a few weeks back, documenting a ground breaking program called Roots of Empathy, which is based here in Canada. From their website, Roots of Empathy is:
“an evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression among schoolchildren by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy.It’s a great program that utilizes a neighborhood infant and their parent, who visit a classroom every three weeks over a school year with the aid of a Roots of Empathy Instructor. The infant is in fact the “teacher”, and helps children reflect and identify their own feelings and the feelings of others.
Incredible, right?

Happy Drinking!
This is a creative for a series I am working on, based on Drinking games; similar to the "Quarters".
"The object of the game is to not sink the cap. The person who starts the game must place the bottle cap in the beer so it floats.
The next person must pour a little amount of beer into the bottle cap without sinking it. The person who sinks the cap must drink what's in the cup.
The person who drinks must start the next round and place the cap in the cup. If the cap sinks while placing it in the cup, the person must drink the cup again".

I found Al!
Hey Todd, I found Al hang'in out in an old Pirate website. I'm upstairs waiting for my hug.
Where’s AL?
If anyone finds him I'll come by their office and give them a free hug. That's worth a lot considering I'm not a hugger.
