Thought that this was a very interesting article on a controversial subject in the creative arts world.
So, I did a calendar this past fall as a fundraiser for a LGBT softball team here in Columbus. They are the Trafik Grizzlies and they just so happened to have WON the Sin City Shootout C Division Champions this past weekend. I am wicked proud of their accomplishment.
Now, you can check out my work and learn more about the team. The calendar is for sale through any of the players here in Columbus AND ME for $20. A portion of the proceeds will go to Project: Zero. A local charity that wants to assure that there are zero HIV/AIDS patients in the Greater Columbus Area that are not receiving the standard-of-care because they cannot afford it. This includes routine lab testing and medications. For more information you can go to www.projectzeroohio.com

Have a great Holiday and a happy New Year!
Something new once a week is my hope. This was done recently and I am very proud to call my work. Have a great Turkey Day!
It is today. So excited to see what they have created with my work. You can see more of the portraits on raylavoie.com

So, I was on a site this week called Trendland finding out about all things design and photography when I came upon a story. It was about a photographer named Tomaas, who works out of New York. He had done some really beautiful photos with common objects. They were so beautiful, I had to share them here. Click on the link to see more of what he was able to do with platers and plastic hoses.
So excited to see another great design use of my photo. I took this last month on a shoot with the Ever-talented Courtney Radu. We had a great time being creative and trying new ideas and techniques for these images. The image posted is a result of that experimenting.
See more of my work for DSW on their site at DSW.com
So excited that this shot went live today. Props to Courtney, Darla and Jim for making
such an awesome shot for DSW!
Check back often to see more of my collaboration with a truly great company.
So, I could not pass up reposting a really great blog post that Seattle-based photographer Chase Jarvis posted last week. It was a provocative and important post to me. Read and consider it for yourself.

10 Things Every Creative Person (That’s YOU) Must Learn
by Chase on OCTOBER 11, 2011
Here is a list of 10 things I’ve learned the hard way that every photographer, designer, creative–hell, every creative person–should know.
1. Experts aren’t the answer.
The blogs, the teachers, the mentors, the seminars aren’t the answer. They’re not there to tell you exactly what you need to know. If they’re good, then they are there to give you some ideas, some guidelines, or some rules to learn and subsequently break. This isn’t about the expert, it’s about you. In creative pursuits especially…what’s going on inside you is where the answers can be found. Hear what experts say, but don’t always listen to them.
The other 9 are at Chase Jarvis Blog. Read on…
So, I said I would add sound to this blog post and I have finally done it. Slide link is there, too. If you are willing to lose 43 minutes of your day listening to me blather on, here is your chance. Go to Ray As Motivational Speaker Post.
Thanks to all who helped make this event possible.
