nyc: day 6, thursday

today was a big day. i had 6 meetings and my book was called into a major ad agency to be considered for a drug campaign.

meetings 1-3 were hearst publications and went very well. i received great feedback from the three magazines and all of the people i met were friendly and nice to chat with. a couple of the meetings may turn up assignment work in the near future. meeting 4 was with a portfolio company who might make my new book. meeting 5 was with a rep company who i've been talking to for over a year. it was nice to finally meet them in person. the rep was very complimentary about my work and has been instrumental in many big career launches; we'll see how the relationship progresses in the future. my last meeting was with the art buyer who called in my book. she was nothing but sweet despite how much stress she was under. in the end, they picked someone else for the project for a number of reasons but i know that based on how much she and her colleagues liked my work, i'll be shooting with them sooner than later.

it was a great day overall and the icing on the cake was pinkberry and magnolia cupcakes for desert.
