We will be downtown today from 3-7 for Huntington Main Street Market on Main: Oktoberfest offering FREE photos!! Limit 2 per person/family/group (I will take several, and deliver you the two best - this isn't America's Top Model where you only get 2 frames 😉). We will be doing a fall version of our "Doorway to Nowhere" set, aptly dubbed "America's Front Porch" or, as weather allows, "America's Living Room." 🛋 Come check it out and say hi! 📸

We were honored to cover this Pepper Snyder for Indiana State Representative event and to be surrounded by so many hopeful people ready for a change in Indiana! 🌽🍂 This party may be the local underdog, but you wouldn't know it having been in this room. Professionalism, passion, level-headedness, positive energy, real solutions. I would love for the hard-line Republicans to engage with these individuals - you would be surprised in today's climate to discover that there is more that unites us than divides us. It irks me still to hear the old "communist" bullsh*t tropes that have been parroted for decades, and when "the libs" get blamed for problems that our local Dems had nothing to do with. Really, our Democratic candidates are nothing like what MAGA wants to believe.

My dad has a phrase that I carry with me and find very relevant right now: "I don't want to be wrong." Meaning that, if you know something I don't, then share it with me - because if I'm wrong, it is because I do not have the right information. This requires common sense and remaining open and receptive to information, rather than sticking to belief systems and putting convenient opinions and catchphrases in front of facts. ✅

We have been to events for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents and have worked with politicians in all of those camps. We were at Braun's inauguration Gala to represent the work we have been doing in Mt Etna (making proactive moves on forest preservation and tourism). So I say this with an open mind and in all honesty: these candidates are STRONG. And they CARE ABOUT YOU, like, a lot. There's a ton riding on this election - take the time to really compare candidates before you do the same old straight ticket. There's another phrase that this election cycle seams to keep bringing up, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Indiana, you know what to do. 🗳

📽🗳🇺🇸 We love working with great candidates! Did you know that Pepper was a registered Republican, then a registered Libertarian, before becoming a Democrat? We find that incredibly endearing. As media peoples, who work with all kinds of people, businesses, projects, and yes - politicians. We do our best to be "politically neutral." It's not always easy; especially during election season! We identify as independents and are big fans of PEOPLE OVER PARTY! As is Pepper Snyder for Indiana State Representative 🗳

Covering infrastructure in Huntington County since we've been here!

There's a lot of copycats out there, and that's fine. When you hire us - people will try and follow up. We come with over 25 years of experience working with some of the biggest brands in the world, in some of the best studios, with some of the most competitive people (based on merit, not just schmoozing). We went from national to local, with a whole lotta grit and determination! Happy to be putting Indiana in the limelight, and its best light.
