So, we have a mascot at SchoolDude.com, where I work as their Web Strategist and occasional photographer. He’s simply know as “The Dude” around the office.

SchoolDude.com is getting ready to celebrate it’s 10th anniversary. How many dot coms can claim that status? Fewer each year, I’m sure. Anyway, I was asked to shoot a series of portraits for our marketing team to use in the materials we’ll be using to mark the anniversary. I realized I had a chance to do a portrait within a portrait so I did just that. Joh Harrison, a multi-media designer at SchoolDude always seems to pull Dude duty. He was a good sport considering we were making him hold cupcakes containing lit candles with his fat foam fingers. Thanks Jon!
