Sebastian’s Quiver

In case you didn’t know, I left Turner Entertainment in November and started working for Nau, an outdoor apparel company that designs, manufactures and sells our clothing in a socially responsible manner. I’ve been telecommuting since November and we’ll be moving to Portland (Nau’s home base) in March. The reason I bring this up is that I haven’t had much hands on experience with our actual product since the closest store (Web Front) is in Chicago, but the products have been given excellent reviews in all types of publications and Nau has received a lot of press for their environmentally friendly, sustainable goals (oh yeah, they also give 5% of every single purchase to a charity of the customer’s choosing). Luckily, all employees had access to a big pre-warehouse sale (there’s a huge warehouse sale in NYC starting soon), so Juli and I ordered a bunch of clothes from them/us. Well, we received the clothes today and DAMN their nice! Even nicer than I had expected, and I expected them to be really really nice. I ordered 3 long sleeve shirts, a cashmere sweater and a jacket. Juli ordered, well, a lot, including this jacket (and some cashmere and a great hiking jacket and a GREAT all-weather jacket). So the morale of the story is go to http://www.nau.com and order some fantastic, environmentally friendly, very stylish, very well designed clothes. (Yes, I know the site is entirely in Flash. That will change soon.)

OK, back to our regularly scheduled program: Sebastian!

Both of those are very low light photos and my 50mm f/1.4 hasn’t come yet, so I did the best I could with what I had. The second photo is the best shot I have of his cute little pucker face that he does.

Shameless plug #2: If you’re interested in more photos (of Sebastian and other things), I started a rudimentary photoblog (it’s a work in progress - it’ll change a bit in the near future). I’m going to try to post more photos there, some more artistic-y in nature, and some probably less so. Please check it out: http://www.literalshore.com/zenphoto
