The Rochester Advertising Federation selected me to be one of their judges for the 2010 Addy Awards.
I spent a weekend with 5 other Creatives from the Chicago advertising community pouring over about 400 entries in print, broadcast, web and radio. Very creative work and it was a real pleasure seeing the quality of work [...]

Toys Will Be Toys
January 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Cool Stuff, Just For Fun, Scott Bell Photography
This is a new addition to my “Girl In Danger” series. It’s a humorous take on how those macho toys behave when no one is looking. For those of you thinking “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” - the “boyz” have other things on their mind. They just have to get through those darn hard to open [...]

Happy Holidays
December 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Just For Fun, Scott Bell Photography
This year of bad economic news reminded me of past days when I had to make do with what I had. Christmas would come (as the Grinch would say)”… without packages boxes or bags”. Just a few cheap strings of lights and some nails to hang them on was all I had to brighten [...]

The PEN Story

Amazing stop motion animation that I found on YouTube:
This is the Olympus PEN Story in stop motion. It was made by shooting 60,000 pictures, developing 9,600 prints and shooting over 1,800 pictures again. No post production! Very Cool. Very Creative.

I came across this Chris Craft while chasing windmills in central Indiana.
I guess if you really really really want a boat you shouldn’t let a thing like no water get you down.
Rebus 1
April 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Just For Fun, Scott Bell Photography
REBUS: A representation of words in the form of pictures or symbols.
I created this Rebus using props that remind me of the coming Spring.
What do you think it says?
Hint: Nothing to do with Easter. It is a phrase that has been used as the title of a movie and a book.
The answer can be found [...]

I started shooting immediately and the owner asked “What the Hell are you doing?”, “Making my Christmas card” was the answer. Most of the shots the [...]
