Dream Job

Since I have bestowed upon myself " King of the Hotel Room Photographers" I have something very cool that may verge upon Narcissistic. I will have the opportunity to photograph Hotel Rooms that have "my" Art on the Walls. The Hotel Artesia, http://hotelartesia.com/ a very cool Art Deco Hotel that is scheduled to open in June 2009. Zydeco Real Estate Management group in Santa Fe, http://zydeco66.com/ is the brains behind the operation. We will be discussing this project in upcoming blog posts as it is the flagship project for new photography business model that is http://resorthotelphotographer.com/

I was given the assignment of creating images for the Room Art that were more than the same photos of a Yucca or something equally as boring that you see in most hotel rooms. Because the Hotel Artesia is a unique project in a small town where everyone works. We weren't creating images for the couple from Modesto like most resort hotel properties. We created images for people who have blue collars and roll up their sleeves. We photographed from "Cain't see to Cain't see" images of workers on oil wells, the Navajo Refinery, the local agriculture, abstracts of the tools of the trades and the beloved Bulldogs, the high school football team. Check out all the images at http://resorthotelgalleries.com

Another Dream job associated with the Hotel is being an interior designer who gets to work with the cutting edge developers that are building the Hotel. Rahli Designs of Santa Fe has created amazing headboards, desks, dressers and coffee table that give this Hospitality Haven a unique and sophisticated feel. We have only just begun to blog about this cool project. Talk to you soon!

Cheers,

Jeff
