As I’m updating the Shutterfly.com photo albums, I uploaded some before and afters of one of the house re-models that Mark Visocky of MarkVisocky.com did. I’d forgotten what a dramatic difference there was in the work done. I still remember going with him to different locations and meeting client after client of his and how much they loved him and loved his work. Genuinely sincere people who had nothing but praise for an industry that is typically behind schedule, over budget and notorious for leaving behind some angry and frustrated people. I have yet ot meet a single client of Mark’s that left his capable hands unhappy.

Above are some of the shots from new folders of shoots on-line at Shutterfly.com to view.
Top row bollotta.com (shoot for their Christmas Card) to the right top row is Jay Boggs of Firestopping, Second Row Left is NorthAmericaGaming.com, to the left second row is Connie Stewart of SoulSync.com.  Third Row Left is Realtor Tony Azar, to his right is Damarcus Wigfall of HairByDm.com.  Bottom row is Kylo Anderson, Yogi and to the right of his shot is one of the location shoots for MarkVisocky.com.

Here are some of the newest/latest pages and updates on other new pages as well… As Between Two Women is my favorite Fawcett featurette, there are four clips viewable on that page. Be sure and check out the site.

 The site is now Cross Platform Friendly in that the video files are now clickable and viewable on all platforms (be it an IPad, IPhone, PC or Mac) and the navigation system and site in general are updated. More pages are coming and some others will be updated and overhauled. Be sure to check out the Biography page as there are multiple video clips of Fawcett’s film work.

 

 

 

The newer site has my favorite Fawcett performance, BETWEEN TWO WOMEN, as well as Dr. T & THE WOMEN, THE CANNONBALL RUN and LOGAN’S RUN. So, take a peek.

Re-working http://www.robek.com and decided to make Dr. Shawn Robek the face, for today anyway of my site http://www.stevemckinnis.com.  Shawn is really smart when it comes to his site. We have continued to update and overhaul, over the years, keeping it fresh and different. He also is good about keeping his blog up, though I’d encourage anyone with a business related blog to enter something and post at least once a month.  His practice is thriving in a continued economic downturn and he’s not only a client but he helped me with an injury and continues to be my chiropractor.

A simple back up drive can run you a whopping $129.00 for 1 TB of space. In other words, that’s huge. I have housed all, that’s ALL the psd files (artwork), photos, code and every other file I have created or stored on my computer on just one of these drives and still have plenty of room left. It is still baffling to me, that people, do not purchase a simple drive like this one. First, it’s so completely easy and simple to use. You can bypass any installation or automated back up drive and use it like you would an old floppy disc or CD. Simply open the folder and drag and drop your files. Recently, I have heard two horror stories about not having a back up. The first was a young lady who had religiously loaded/downloaded all her digital photos to her Apple hard drive. Contrary to popular misconception, Apples, at some time or another, crash, break or simply, pass away after years of use or even neglect. I referred her to two people. Neither of which could restore her data because the drive had burnt out. There was simply no data to recover. Had she just had one of these drives, she would still have all her thousands of photos. Another story is about a client how was recently robbed. Now, they did have a back up drive, however, they’d left it in their business location. This is another issue entirely, but, if you are able to do so, simply purchase TWO drives. Store one off site, meaning, not in your house, not in your business. Get a safety deposit box or store it (well packaged-free of water/dirt/dust) in the trunk of your car. It’s just one more way to make sure you have the peace of mind that comes when you know your data is somewhere that you can retrieve it in the worst case of scenarios.
 
I highly recommend Western Digital Drives. I have several of these portable drives and they are worth every penny. Here’s a direct link to their products and web site:  I have purchased my drives from Costco here in San Diego.

PS. It DOES matter what kind of back up drive/brand you buy. I do not recommend SEAGATE for any back up purposes. Their drives, in my opinion, are not reliable and are built on failed technology (allegedly).

The seventies belonged to FAWCETT who shot to fame on Charlie’s Angels, graced MILLIONS of teenage bedroom doors and walls and whose smile lit up a world before internet, cell phones, VCRs and computers existed. Parlaying “jiggle-TV” into a respected actress in THE BURNING BED, EXTREMITIES, MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE, SMALL SACRIFICES, THE APOSTLE and other films and televised projects. FAWCETT proved she was more than just “Charlie’s Angels” Jill Munroe. An advocate for THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Fawcett fought her own battle with cancer and lost but her brave and relentless fight once again captured the hearts of millions. FAWCETT may be gone but she’s far from forgotten.
