You know your business is real when the sign goes up.  Until that moment passers-by didn’t stop and talk with us, but when Clyde Grindal  from Falcon Sign and Awning in East Granby CT installed our IRIS Photography sign on our 10 LaSalle Rd store in February…we met several of our neighbors on the sidewalk.

In our build-out we wanted to open up the front of the store.  So we took the awning off the front window and it was like lifting your visor.  And we wanted the sign to work with the brick facade, not cover it up.  Clyde came up with a perfect solution with the white lettering and lattice work that blends into the rust-colored brick.

Clyde’s been in the sign biz for 18 years and in his off-time he likes to run and hike on trails in the Granby area and beyond.  If you’re looking for signage or awnings, visit Falcon Sign.  Thanks Clyde!

I always assumed the 1960s group The Rascals–with their hits “Good Lovin'”, “Groovin'” and “A Beautiful Morning”–were part of the British Invasion.  But no…they’re Jersey Boys, and a young Steven Van Zandt (along with his buddy Bruce Springsteen) saw the Rascals as his first concert back in the 1960s.   Van Zandt always admired the band and 43 years later he got the boys back together, directing and producing the short run show at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway.

A few weeks back I was in NYC to photograph The Rascals press day for Getty Images’ FilmMagic and I just saw that Rolling Stone used my image in their article.  If you or your parents are Rascals fans, here’s the show site for tickets and info.
