A is also for "Always Coca-Cola" which is the company that I'm going be working with on my exciting new project! I've been keeping it a secret for about a month now and I can finally let it out!
Here are the details:
Coca-Cola is looking for ways to engage their fans and to encourage them to create imagery and content in an fun and inspirational way, which is the purpose of this brand new project. Using inspiring and motivating key words, fans and photographers can share their photos and stories through the official Coca-Cola Flickr group, hopefully growing a community of like-minded, supportive and talented artists creating fun and exciting new works of art inspired by Coca-Cola.
Essentially every two weeks a new key word will be posted and photographers can use that word as inspiration for a new photo, then you can post the images to the group thread on the official website and share it with the world! I'll be moderating the Flickr Group and providing my own images to fit each theme :)
I'm extremely excited about working with such a well respected and art driven company, they have a history of iconic and beautifully crafted imagery and I'm humbled to have my work play even the smallest part in such a huge company!
If you'd like to play along and learn more about the project, you can check out the group and my story behind this photo here:

Here is my second photograph in my collaboration with Coca-Cola, they presented me with the theme word "Giving" and this was the first idea that popped into my head, wouldn't it be cool to just reach up and grab a drink?
This project has been such amazing opportunity and I'm so thankful that they have given me a chance to work on such a fun project, it's been great seeing some of your photos pop up in the thread at the Coca-Cola group, I really would love to see what YOU come up with for the word "Giving"! You can add your images the discussion here:

This is my third (well, technically my 5th if you count the extras) photo for my collaboration with Coca-Cola. They let me choose the theme for the next two weeks and I picked "Discovery". I find that the word "discover" has so many visuals to it and upon asking various people I was given such a wide variety of answers. Some said books, some said doors, some said maps and buried treasures. It was fun to see where one word can lead.
For my image I tried to incorporate a few of the ideas I had plus my own ideas of discovery. I decided to add in items that I feel help me feel like I'm disovering new things; a camera, a bicycle, a globe all things that give me the feeling of exploring and seeing new things. I liked having the light be more of a mystery, so you can draw your own conclusions as to what the treasure chest holds :)
I REALLY would love it if you joined the group and added your "discovery" photos to the thread here:

An alternate photo for my latest collaboration with Coca-Cola :)
I was given a list of options for the newest theme and I chose "Discover" because I felt like it had the most visuals tied to it. There are so many ways to interpret the word discover and I really liked coming up with ideas to match the different definitions. You can discover through reading, through exploring, through learning, and through experiencing things in a new way which is where this photo idea came in.
I decided to shrink myself down and discover the forest from a new perspective. We had a HUGE snowfall over the weekend and so I strapped on my snowshoes and explored the trees from a whole new viewpoint, of course I had to stop for a drink along the way :)
I would love it if you added your own photos of discovery to the group thread here:

This is my newest image for my work with Coca-Cola, the theme presented is "Now - Be In The Moment".
When I think of images based around "being in the moment" I think of these types of photos that are entirely based around capturing a split second, they aren't really posed, the outcome is always different and your camera is getting that one specific moment in time when everything is happening. Needless to say I love taking splash photos and jumping photos and to me they encompass "being in the moment" in regards to photography, plus they're just so much fun to do!!
I would abslutely love it if you would add your photos of "being in the moment" to the Coca-Cola discussion ,there have been some really great images being posted for the previous themes and it's great to see new photos in there! You can add them HERE!
