Towering Ticket

Now that the MA lottery spot is airing, this is the cute photo I’d been keeping to myself. (Oh, and there are more photos from the commercial shoot at my Flickr feed.)

Earlier this week I had the good fortune to work with Picture Park on a new TV spot for the Massachusetts State Lottery. The featured game seemed to be Billion Dollar Bonanza and I think the final, edited spot will be quite cute.

It was an early day for me, with a call time of 7 AM at a location about an hour away. However, there was another spot for the same campaign shooting before me. I can’t imagine the call time for those guys! Jean was the make-up artist on set and the gregarious Vern was in charge of wardrobe. Both made all the talent look first-rate.

The spot I worked on told the story of a girl driving into a parking garage. The temperature was rather low in my little, top-down convertible:

Does it fit me to a T?

A few times, now, people have commented on this image, posted at the MBTA website and in the MBTA’s Copley Station, wondering if the person in the lower left-hand corner is me.

However, it is entirely possible an MBTA employee was standing in the intersection one day, taking a photo of the future T-stop site when I happened to be walking past.

The image has been altered to appear more like a drawing, and aspects of it have clearly been tweaked. The new T-stop and sign have been added, as well. Who knows? It could very well be me in this image. I’ve pondered it while waiting for the green line and in some ways I am quite similar to the person in this image, despite the fact she appears to have six digits … Read more »

Spam I Am?

A few years ago, I did some print work as part of a one-time gig for a company called Creative Playthings, which specializes in commercial and residential wooden playground equipment. Today, I received an email message from the company. That’s odd, I thought, I’ve never received email from them before. Perhaps they want to work with me again.

Upon opening the message, I realized that this was not a work request. Rather, it was advertising an upcoming sale of jungle gyms. And, in fact, I am in the ad as the “mom” pushing the three children on the tire swing. (See my red hair?)

I don’t think I’ll be purchasing a jungle gym anytime soon.
