Fan Page Created!

For you who enjoy my blog posts or just read them. I have created a Facebook Fan Page. Usually, I would upload images to Facebook under my own profile, but after today, all images will be uploaded to the fan page instead. I think this is a better way for me to show my craft. A benefit is that Facebook fan pages are public so more people will be able to see my photos.

This blog will be left for the explanation of some of the photos I took, as well as the story behind them. That is all for now, but stay tuned for more photos!

Become a Fan!

Changing blog overview.. Photography is the new topic

So I have made up my decision to focus this blog mainly on my photography. Where as before it was about me and general things that I came to realize with occasional photos, it will now be a base for my photography. I want to progress my photography so I feel I need to push myself to get out at least once a week to take pictures. Stay tuned.

Testing out the new backdrop

Now that I have disposable income, I am looking to further my photography. I am still a beginner but I want to have some fun with portraits. I bought myself a gray backdrop to use, but with no models to test it out on, I had to use myself. I asked my sister to help me with the first picture so she is the female. Something to consider of course is don't judge me on these pictures.

Need a new avatar picture for one of your social media accounts? Maybe you need a more professional looking picture for one of your online profiles? What ever the reason, I am currently looking for anyone in the Greenwich, CT area to pose. I will be taking free pictures for anyone interested. I just want to get better with portraits.

Know Your Source Internship

Internship Talk:

During my last semester at Champlain College I had an internship at Know Your Source. Know Your Source was a Supplier of Quality, Green and Conventional Supplies to Spas, Massage Therapists, Skin Care Professionals, and others in Integrative Medicine. After 16 weeks of going business they were forced to shutdown due to the economic situation.

While there I was the marketing intern. At first it was data entry and management. Everything on the website that would be looked at by potential customers. I would be in charge of entering the information such as product name/description/keywords for organic search and meta description of the product. After having completed the input of the product information, I was then able to be introduced to Google Adwords. Having been familiar with Google Analytics, and being savvy with internet programs, I was able to catch on real quick. From this point on I was in charge of keeping up to date the CEO and Founder Douglas "Las" Wengell on our adwords campaigns. While doing some research on what other people have done to get better target marketing click through rates and conversions I found a lot of information that would help get more potentials. I monitored the campaigns everyday, even when I wasn't at the internship. Overall I learned a lot of useful internet marketing techniques and tools to get better search results. I have incorporated everything I have learned into my website(www.aceduo.com) and the organic search of my name-- try it Google my name (Alberto Aviles).

Here are some pictures that I took while there to visually illustrate the business.

The Free Table: Gardener Supplies had a table which people from the company brought in items they didn't want and thought other people might get some use out of and placed it on this table. Anyone could go and take what they liked.


Founder/CEO Douglas "Las" Wengell:



Meg: My second supervisor.



The finance guy:


Marianne: She was my supervisor and a pleasure to work with.


The entrance to our section of the building. Because we were within the same building of gardener supplies.


The boxes of catalogs which were printed on 100% recycled materials.



Shortly after going live, the economic went downhill and they had to let someone go. This is the empty spot. Sad but true.
