April, 2008 Archives

Check out these fun times up in Park City, down at The Malt Shoppe in Provo, and out on the west side of the world. Craig and Emily were a blast to work with, and I think I can safely say we are all pleased with the final images.

Settebello Pizzeria At ADAIR Creative, we love what we do. We love most the opportunity to stand out and be different, and we search for these opportunities each and every day. Recently we had the incredible opportunity of working with Michael Brooks over at Settebello Pizzeria in Salt Lake City, UT. We had a tremendous time, and really came out with some sweet images of his place. Being there all day, we certainly worked hard. But we weren’t the only ones. His team put nearly 500 pizzas (probably more by the time the night was over) through their custom made wood burning oven which they imported straight from Italy.

We photographed pizza after pizza being dressed, cooked, and served – and somehow, even after seeing it hundreds of times, the process didn’t get old. So how did they do all that in one day? Well, as I’m sure Michael will tell you, it’s many many factors, but to name just a few…It doesn’t hurt that they cook the pizzas at a whopping 930 degrees Fahrenheit, or that they have a native Italian gentleman by the name of Matteo rolling the dough by hand. Their menu is simple, uncluttered by the typically infinite number of dishes, allowing them to really focus on what they do best: making pizza. But maybe most interesting to me was the fact that the pizzas they serve don’t take fifteen minutes, or even five to cook. No, the special Settebello Pizza comes out of this stone oven ready to eat a mere 45 seconds after it’s initial entry of the wood fired furnace. WOW! Fourty-Five seconds! Keep it in for much longer than that, and you’ve got nothing more than burnt Italian toast.

So, here it is. My interpretation of their process, their people, their culture, their clients, and their passion for one thing: Making True Italian Pizza. I present a few of the many images from a Day in the Life of Settebello Pizzeria:

I haven’t told you this before, but I’m a sucker for good quotes. I love em, and can’t get enough. I happened across one of my most cherished belongings years ago as a twenty year old – an old leather bound book published in 1910 called Old Friends Are Best, which contains hundreds of some of the finest quotes I have ever encountered. These come from some of the greatest poets and writers we’ve known, such as Longfellow, Emerson, Dickens, and Twain, with plenty of wonderful additions from less known intellects as well.

I’ll share a few quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson tonight, but before I do, I want to tell you that if you ever want to make my year decade, or if you’d like to extract from me ten times your actual costs, then present this book to me in good condition and the leather bound edition. You won’t bring me more humility or gratitude with any other earthly gift, I think.

And on to the words:

“Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force; that thoughts rule the world”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

And probably my favorite of the evening is the following:

“Every brave heart must treat society as a child, and never allow it to dictate.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Roman Holiday

April 8th, 2008 Permalink

I thought I’d share these images of Roman we just finished. His parents wanted some shots while he was still an infant, and they were wise enough to want something unique. Then again, they’ve always had good taste. Though we specialize in multiple facets of photography, we really love photographing real people in real life most. This is just one example of our work creating unique Utah Childrens Photography.

If you like baby photography, then check out our previous blog post on our recent labor & delivery photography session. It was a scream! 😉
