    1001 Biking Days

    Just yesterday I watched the numbers roll over into four digits on my Runkeeper account. I always knew I did a lot of miles during the summer on my bike but actually seeing the stats is a whole different thing. Over 54,000 calories and counting! I still got plenty of time to go before the…

  • 2009 Change Blurb Book Cover

    First In A Series

    This book 2009: Change is the start of a, hopefully, long running series that will catalog my life through photography.  I am often behind a camera lens on many trips and at events. I publish many photos into facebook albums, but I have never been satisfied by tagged photos in a digital album. I really…

  • Patrick Everson Business Cards Front Back

    New First Impressions

    Just got brand new business cards produced for myself. Decided to treat myself to some tactile letterpress goodness. Had a great experience printing with Gilah Press in Baltimore, MD. Now just need to work on my networking ability. Anyone want to exchange cards?

  • Protect All of You

    Protect All of You

    Some recent print work created for a client of ours at SmithGifford. I love how odd the man in the photo looks, it really makes me think about casting advice my senior art director told me once. He said to never cast the prettiest person, everyone else does and you end up not standing out.…

    Today was bike to work day and I decided, despite the afternoon rain forecasts, that I would peddle my way to work. It was a beautiful ride!

  • Ernie Vs Burger

    The Beefcake Vs. The Beef

    At SmithGifford we like our Elevation Burger. All organic beef with fries and a Black cherry shake make for a fantastic lunch. Still for all the good of Elevation some in the office have always been less than impressed with the overall size of the burgers on offer. One of the more vocal critic Ernie,…

  • A Close Shave

    A Close Shave

    I had never gone more than three days without shaving before. I probably had my first shave in about the eighth grade and haven’t looked back since. So it was definitely a new experience when I decided to let my facial hair grow out for the first time ever. Ostensibly the catalyst had been the…

  • Foggy Bottom Lights Out 03

    Lights Out In Foggy Bottom

    When I walked into Foggy Bottom station today things looked quite a bit different than usual. Turns out Pepco knocked out a generator and the station was running on emergency power. The trains were still running but almost all the lights and all of the escalators and displays were out. The metro employees did a…
