After a few weeks of going through way TOO many photos, and a couple of boneheaded design moves (forgetting that 40% or more still use 1024x768 or less) we have launched a new site with fresh images from the Spring Semester.

If you get a chance head on over to www.fjgaylor.com and let us know what you think.

Take your pick, this one could have been taken at anyone of these three schools: (Northwestern, North Central College, Cornell)... If you've been following the blog, you definitely know where it was shot... This is a common site on all campuses we go to... Next time you leave the office to grab a Starbucks or Caribou (Kansas State) across campus, count how many other school shirts or hats you see as well as how many of your own school.. You'll be surprised.. Would love to know what you all come up with...

As the clock touches five on the East Coast, it is time to shut down the computer for at least the next 36 hours to celebrate Thanksgiving.

This is the last file I processed today.. Thought it was kinda neat. This was taken a few weeks back from a Chemistry lab at Imperial College in the UK..

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving..

Here are a few from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK...

Gotta love Big 12 Country, lots of school spirit... We'll spend all day in Stillwater tomorrow and then off to Manhattan, Kansas and Kansas State tomorrow night.. Another Big 12 school, should be a lot of fun.

Here it is, just before midnight on Saturday and I am waiting for the dryer to finsh, so I can finish packing for the week.. We are off to Oklahoma State in a mere six hours for the first part of the week and then to Kansas State the latter part of the week.. All day and night Saturday was spent processing files and my eyes are killing me.. I was messing around with some files in between DVD burning and processing, and realized how FAST this Fall semester has gone.... It felt like just yesterday we were at Suffolk University (the first time), and in fact that was August 20th, the start of this grueling stretch of Fall Shooting.. It has been non-stop, starting on the extreme East Coast, then the Extreme West Coast, a bunch in the Midwest, then the Southeast, then the Southwest, then across the pond and back, this week to the plains (I think that's what OK, and KS would be considered anyway), any natives out there please correct me if i'm wrong.

Anyway enough of that, as I was saying before I got off task, I was looking at some files that were posted on the Blog and Flickr from August 20th to this past Thursday, and decided to put a page together from those images in no particular order..

Please have a look at them HERE and let us know what you think. Most nights, we would try and go through and pick out a bunch, but there are several days that we were just plain beat, or didn't have time because we were too busy trying to catch a plane or hopping in a car and driving 400 miles to our next shoot the following day.

Enjoy.....

Here are some from our shoot at the lovely College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA yesterday.. Once again a great feeling: working all day and getting home in time to watch TV on my own couch (like normal people).. Processing the next couple of days and then off to Stillwater OK and Oklahoma State University..

We have just finished up three great days at London's Imperial College.. People had warned me that students and studies in the UK were much different than the states and it was going to be extremely challenging to get the "slice of life" we are used to in the states. I said it will be fine "KIDS ARE KIDS ARE KIDS NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE", and for the most part that is exactly what we found.

There were a few differences we did see however:

1. Visible School Spirit is absolutely "Non Existent".. In the three days of shooting, we counted a total of 13 "Imperial College sweathsirts or other logo apparrel", very different than that of the states.

2. Kids actually walk and talk with one another on the way to class.. We saw very few students walking single file with their cell phones stuck to their ear.

3. Drinking age of 18 and no hiding of alcoholic beverages, several pubs on campus that were crawling with students at dinner time..

We had a wonderful time and thank you so much to our client for treating us to a wonderful week.

We will be flying home tomorrow and staring into a computer until our next assignment on Monday trying to get some of our work processed and delivered in a somewhat timely fashion..

A glorious day in London Today, Blue Skies and Sunny all day.. Here are a few from Imperial College Today..

Well what a couple of months it has been.. As October comes to an end, we find ourselves in London watching the Red Sox and Rockies in the World Series.. Keep in mind that it's 2:15 am local time in London and we're not even close to being tired.. Having an extremely tough time adjusting to the time change, but most importantly the PRICES in London!!! They are ridiculous, we got two Grande Black Coffees at Starbucks in South Kensington this morning for $11.00 USD.. If that wasn't bad enough, how about the $20.00 hamburger at a PUB near Trafalgar Square..

Well as October closes, what a month it has been.. 12 Different Schools in EIGHT states and TWO continents.. Of 22 business days in October, we were shooting 19 of them, with only three Fridays off..

We are going to be shooting at Imperial College, here in London the next three days.. We'll fly home on Thursday afternoon and have the weekend off. Most of next week we will actually be working in New England and sleeping in our own beds until we leave for Oklahoma State and Kansas State on the 11th of November (another full week of travel). Fortunately after that is Thanksgiving and a great opportunity to dig out from this month's mountain of data.. Then off to Florida the week after Thanksgiving, and maybe a breather for December, but as I write there are several assignments pending for the first couple weeks of December..

Enjoy..

Just returned home from a week on the road that started on Monday at Northwestern University and finished this afternoon in San Marcos, TX at Texas State University..

We will have a short time at home before we fly out to London on Staurday Night for a week of shooting across the pond..

What a day in San Marcos, Texas, Mid 70's, no humidity, not a cloud in the sky, nice breeze.. What a difference from a week ago in Beaumont, Texas. Great weather for walking up the steps to the library at Texas State University. We are here at Texas State again all day today, and home tonight. We arrive about midnight into Hartford. We will spend all day Friday in front of the computer trying to dig out from under a pile of images before we leave Saturday for London..

After spending two days at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, it was time to switch gears and head over to O'Hare and catch a 9:45 flight to Austin.. The next two days we will be at CHILLY Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. I can't believe how cool it is here, woke up this morning it was about 40 degrees, same as yesterday in Chicago, go figure..

What a start to another long week on the road... Stayed up way too late Sunday night watching the Red Sox crush the Indians en route to another World Series Appearance.. I rolled out of bed at 4:00 am to get to the airport for a 6:30 flight to Chicago with an 8:00 am arrival at Midway Airport, and by 9:00 am central time we were on location at Northwestern University capturing campus life images.. What a difference in climate from the stifling humidity of Lousiana and SE Texas last week.. It was downright miserable in Chicago, WINDY, RAINY and just plain RAW.. We have another day at Northwestern tomorrow (tuesday) and then off to Texas State University in San Marcos, TX tomorrow night for a couple of days... This should be interesting as we are scheduled to arrive in Austin tomorrow night at about midnight, and we have checked all rental car companies, and there are abolutely NO cars available in Austin... Well we'll worry about that after our day at Northwestern..

Here are some from Northwestern on Monday..

We have had an extremely productive week, unfortunately the blog posts are not that robust.. It's getting late in the fall semester shooting season and quite frankly I am way too tired to post several images..

Here's one from Lamar University earlier today..

This semester has been crazy, we are in our eighth week of travel in a row.. We are in Lafayette, LA for a two day shoot at UL-Lafayette, home of the Ragin Cajuns... We flew in this morning to Gulfport, MS and took our time driving on the gulf through New Orleans, Baton Rouge and finally Lafayette.. After Two days at ULL we will get in the car and drive a few hours Southwest to Beaumont, TX for antoher two days at Lamar University..

I've got to tell you this travel has been a grind.. We will be busy up until the end of November, with trips to Chicago, Texas, London, Boston, Oklahoma and Kansas still to come.. I have been fighting a nagging cold all weekend and have loaded up on Sudafed, hoping it will do the trick.
