JOE WIGDAHL PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG

QBN.com is a sweet art + design showcase site and they just named my site and my picture of Chicago during the storm as their Editor’s Choice. Here’s the link.  Thanks guys!

I just found out that I won 3rd place in the Altpick Awards’ “Popular Vote” for Best Design: Ad Campaign/Packaging for the work I did with the Chicago White Sox in January of this year. Here’s the link to the award and you can see tearsheets from the campaign here.

It was a lot of fun to shoot but it was about -5 degrees fahrenheit inside the stadium. My assistant Jeremy is a huge Sox fan and after we were done shooting we took some pictures of Jeremy on home plate and in the dugout and then my crew and I all took turns running the bases and sliding into home and making snow angels in the outfield.

Last night I was watching The Office (the Customer Survey episode) and the characters Andy and Angela are discussing getting married in a tent. The picture on the website they’re looking at for “Shangri-la Tent” is a picture I took at my friend Neal’s wedding that I blogged about last year. (Best Friend Gets Married In Cornfield, Drinks, Bellows.) They must have gotten it from Getty Images where I have some of my stuff on sale for stock but I had no idea that it was going to be on a show. I almost choked on my beer when I saw it pop up. Here’s a shot from the show:

I hope this means I can be in a Judd Apatow movie now.
