Seattle Corporate Event Photography: Tasting In The Dark with Coppola Wines

At the Space Needle in Seattle, members of the media and VIPs were invited to a Tasting In The Dark of Francis Ford Coppola wines. This sensory experience challenged guests to pick out aromas of base flavors then a flight of 4 of the company's bottlings - all while blindfolded. Hobey Wedler, a graduate student working toward his PhD in Chemistry (and blind since birth) led the group through the experience.

Last night is a great example of why I love being a corporate event photographer.

7 Cities. 9 Events. Still Photography and Video. Gigs, and gigs, and gigs of data.  As I write this, we’re barely over half-way through this run of 9 shoots, and – including the transcoded and rendered video files – we’re already over 1 TB of data.  How to manage it all is a big question. […]

Don’tcha love it when people say “The fun thing about…”? Like there’s only 1 fun thing about what they’re talking about. Yeah, no – too black and white.  Being an event photographer is just fun!  The places, the events, the energy, and of course – the people.  Shooting events in the liquor industry?  Those are […]
