December Challenge: Day 3 - Mark Stabb

Mark Stabb is the co-founder and President of Quartus Engineering Incorporated, which is where I spend my time during the day as an engineer. Mark has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Math and Physics, a Master of Science Degree in Engineering Mechanics, and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Engineering Mechanics (all from the University of Wisconson - Madison), and he’s a Certified Professional Engineer.

Brian, this is one professional looking headshot. Mark should be purchasing this and having you shoot the entire firm!
LOL, I plan on shooting the rest of the management team anyways — then they can update their profile pics on the website. I’ve got about 2 or 3 other shots of Mark that I’ll be working on tonight and bringing in for him tomorrow.
I was actually really nervous to ask him about taking his photo, but Mark is such a cool guy — he’s like “Sure! Go for it!” I was nervous too about how the photos would turn out. I didn’t want to have all bad shots and look like a moron in front of the boss-man. But after getting the shots on the computer and saw that I had a few good ones, my fears subsided. This one was a pretty big confidence booster for me.
Great idea about doing this at work!
Our staff has photos on our server at work and from what I head, most of them don’t like their photos.
The dilema: The 20 days I’m not at work (since I’m a part-timer)…
Well, this is about the only way I’ll be able to pull off all 31 days — it’s dark by the time I’m off work so I can’t really get out and take shots at that point. The cool thing is, I’m actually working at two different places because I’m providing on-site engineering support for another company up in Carlsbad for 20hrs/week. So I’ve got two sets of co-workers that I can bother with my camera.
Nice executive portrait - and wow does it ever blow the current ones away!
