This a a corporate book we were asked to do for PWP Packaging With Perfection's President, Mr. Leon Farahnik. At the end of the month, Mr. Farahnik is retiring and they wanted to present him with this book commemorating his time with the company. The book features corporate events, key milestones, images of employees, heart-felt quotes and stories from clients and staff.

We were asked by our client to create a book of all the newspaper and press clippings for the Keane Brothers. John and Tom Keane were teen sensations in the late 70's and early 80's. They were the youngest entertainers in history (ages 11 and 12, respectively) to host their own variety television program. The brothers Keane released four albums and were quite the teen idols throughout their career. We put together a "RETRO"spective of all their articles, images and magazine covers for our client, who was going to present the book to the two Keane brothers as a surprise gift.

Asian elephants are considered endangered on the IUCN Red list. At the turn of the 20th Century, there were 100,000 elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than 5,000.

We were honored to be contacted by Don Tayloe regarding his documentary film, "The Last Elephants in Thailand". Don's film is a sweeping account of the lives of domesticated elephants and what is being done to save them. Their habitat has been drastically reduced and they are rounded up and turned into slaves in logging camps or to perform in the tourism industry. Fortunately, there are people trying to save the animals, but they are under funded and undermined by politics.

This book is a companion piece to the documentary and as a visual biography, we hope that it will encourage people to reach out a helping hand. For more information on Don Tayloe's film, please visit http://haepictures.wordpress.com/

Gifts of Time, Fifty Years Down Memory Lane was such a treat to create for our client. Brenda is a wonderful mother, a great co-worker, terrific friend and fantastic wife. I can say that because I read over 50 tribute letters to her from her friends and family.

This memory book is to be a surprise gift from her friends for her upcoming 50th birthday.Thankfully, one person, (one very organized person) coordinated the many letters and images that people wanted to contribute to the book, and although there were one or two late contributions and additions to the book, we managed to get it to print in time for the event. Happy Birthday Brenda and many more!

This was an emotional book to work on for our clients. The family of a woman who had recently passed away from cancer wanted to create a memorial or tribute book about Ellen that they could give to Ellen's daughter so she would always know how much her mother was loved and admired.

This is a collection of letters and images from her family and friends that was put together and then gifted to the Ellen's teenage daughter. It is a wonderful gift that Ellen will have as a reminder of her mom for all her life. We wish them all the best during the holidays and the coming years.
