Linden Elstran Makes it Worth The Trek

...to a magical land called "Red Hook." Now, you may have heard legends about Red Hook. You may have even heard that it was mythical. Not true, my friends, not true.
Red Hook is as real as you and me and we even have an "in" with one of the natives--our very own prop stylist, Linden Elstran. She and her hubby prepare a daily feast at their new gastro pub, Fort Defiance.

Tantalizing still life below to illustrate as well as intriguing reviews to tempt even the least adventurous patron.

Chris Fanning Takes Kickboxing to Another Level

And that level is a rooftop in LA. Not content to sit and contemplate the view, Chris put on an entire fitness shoot. What do you think? Did he take fitness shoots to.....new heights???

Ok, that gem of a joke didn't go over too well in the office either but it's the end of the day--gotta go with what you got, right? Hopefully Chris's picture below will make you forget that stain on our--until now--flawless blog. If not, perhaps a couple rounds in a ring with our friend below will help convince you!*



*seed reps in no way condones acts of violence. empty threats, however are pretty much ok.

Chris Fanning and Snapshots of Africa-- Just a Typical Visit to the Inlaws

There's an old African proverb that says "The camel does not see the bend it its neck." Luckily for us, Chris Fanning's camera lens misses almost nothing. Below are a collection of snapshots from his annual trip to his wife's home of South Afrika. Chris's wife (also a fellow photographer) and their 2 year old daughter can definitely suggest some great places to hit up if you are planning a trip to South Africa soon.

Forward your questions to info@seedreps.com and we'll be sure to pass them along!

Want to see even more pictures from their trip? Be sure to check out Chris's personal site by clicking here.

Aron Norman--An excellent Travel Companion

Unfortunately for the world, cloning has not yet been perfected so there is, sadly, only one Aron Norman out there for everyone to share. Luckily for the world he likes to travel so we all get a chance to hang out with him no matter what hemisphere we find ourselves residing.

Case in point, here are some more of Aron's travel pics from his recent shoot out in Australia. All pics are available for resale but looking, of course, is absolutely free!

OMG! We have a WINNER for the Jelly Bean Contest!!!

Well, the wait is finally over and our heads hurt from all the math (ok and probably all the jelly beans we have managed to consume in an alarmingly short amount of time). The total jelly beans in the jar is 1,940.

Below is the name of the winner and the 5 closest guesses. We followed "The Price is Right" model where whoever guessed closest without going over won (although even the other way Amanda pretty much had it in the bag).

WINNER: Amanda Haan (68 under)

TOP 5 CLOSEST GUESSES:
1. Ellen Hutchings (212 under)
2. Chris Tomczak (257 under)
3. Jason Passant (312 under)
4. Sara Foldenauer (378 under)
5. Pam Lor (440 under)


Thanks to all for playing. We will definitely be holding another contest in the next couple of months so if you didn't win this one, there will be another chance for glory soon.

In the meantime, I would make friends with Amanda. She is the proud recipient of a gift-card to the holiest of holy grocery stores in NYC--WHOLEFOODS. If you are lucky, maybe she will share some snacks :)

Aron Norman Takes His Camera "Down Under"

Although we missed him while he was away, Aron had a great trip to Australia. If you see him around, be sure to ask him--I'm sure he has way too many stories to fit in this entry. But, as they say a picture is worth a thousand words (so 5 x 1000--well you do the math). Take a peek below!

We See London, We See France. Peter Rosa Shows Us Some (Pretty) Underpants.

No offense meant to Peter of course, but we are happy that the underpants--more accurately, lingerie of course-- are being modeled by professionals. Taking a peek below I'm sure you can see why by this fantastic fashion story on location.

It may still officially be winter outside but these ladies remind us how to save on your gas and electric bill (by turning up the heat in other ways).
