We have made the first step in increasing the ability for people to find us (the experts say that this is a good thing for a business – who knew). Another great job by Signs Today as usual. The ground level door entering the building got a big ol’ Union National Annex, and our office door received the O&J seal of approval.

It seems like almost all of our posts are something about changes being made to the site/office, and that the title of these posts usually ends with an exclamation point. This time, I left out the exclamation, and instead just borrowed a line from that old sage Bowie.

In an effort to present a truly well-rounded voice to the blog of Otis & James, I attempted to have James – aka Jamie – make this post. After about an hour, we had not made much progress other than this photo:

I took the photo, Jamie sweeted it up. She had the post all ready to go, but due to a variety of reasons it all fell apart in the end. Instead, we’re back to the one-sided Otis only version of events. I swear, we’ll get her posting up here.

Back to the post, we are happy to tell you that we’ve uploaded new photo’s into the Weddings, Seniors, and Portraits pages. New and Improved…Better Than Ever…Try it today.

There’s a great scene in Goodfellas about being followed by a helicopter. Well, I guess that we have to leave the embassy now – we’ll be in touch.

The following taken from the office window – thank God they’re clean.

Today was all about cleaning the windows. After waaaaaay too much work in order to get the windows clean, they are beautifully clean. I would eat off of them.

To the local professional window cleaners who said it could not be done, I offer a bold ‘Ha! It can be done!’ You just have to know what you’re doing (as if I had a clue).

Proof of a clean window – Look carefully and you’ll see me, and a caraffe.

We’ve also added a short presentation about how to find our new office on the Contact page. Click the link labeled Movie of Office. It requires the Quicktime player, or as I like to call it the QT Playa (props to Becca Joy).

And Ali stopped by.

All in all a full day.

Otis Out.

Kind of a lazy day at Otis & James Central – and we’re actually on Central Avenue. Today we found ourselves in the good company of Dustin and Heidi (I always want to spell her name Hidei – which is quite a departure from the Nordic nature of the name). We had fun, were able to get some good shots of these two nice young peoples.

Enjoy!

As you may have noticed, we’ve made some changes to the blog in order to give you, our viewing audience, the most up-to-date-blogging-experience…why am I hyphenating everthing?

Regardless of the punctuation, it should be sweeter, or sweatier.

p.s. – Come back to the site over the next few days to (hopefully) see a new page dedicated to where our new office is – sort of like a visual representation walking/driving tour, or sweatier.

Greetings from Otis & James – it’s been a while, but we’ve been busy working on and moving into our new office and studio! We thought that we’d post some pics of the new digs. It has taken much work to get it to this point (most notably on the terazzo floors – check out that shine!), but it has all been worth it. It’s a really cool space, with tons of character. Our last office was great, and wouldn’t have been possible without all the help from Tim at Northern Lights Financial Services. We owe him big for helping a young business out!!

We think that our new office will suit all of our needs, and we’ll be posting some more later.

The following photo’s are of the office suite, keep an eye out for studio pics to come later.

We are currently knees deep in a new phase for Otis & James – during the next couple of weeks we will be completing a move to our new office/studio in an historic building right in our downtown of Minot (but we’ve still got a lot of work to get it ready for human inhabitance).

Keep an eye out for photographs of our new location, and we’ll keep you up to date when we make the big move!
