Orlando Asian Art Exhibit

by Charles Grimm on January 26, 2010

Just a quick post- “search engine marketing” is a rough business. Maria and I were at an Asian Art Exhibit on Friday night shooting photos and video for our client; Maurice Middendorf – Mauruarend Art Gallery in Winter Park, Florida. It was a great turn out. We don’t have the official numbers yet but I think there was about 125 – 150 people! The food and the live entertainment was fantastic.

Michael, Maurice and me.

Search Engine Marketing is a hard business but someone has to do it!

Maurice did this piece of work “live” in the gallery one night.

Earlier on Michael (concept artist) for the new graphic novel we are working on, was giving a character interpretation…I think?
