4th of July College Times Cover

Years ago when my now wife Stephanie and I were first dating we came across a large American flag mural on the side of a building in a commercial district in Mesa where I took some film photos of her just for kicks...

After my art director and I began kicking around ideas a few months ago for the 4th of July cover this year he asked me if I knew any place where there was a giant picture of an American flag and I immediately remembered the mural. I set up this photo shoot on the 20th of June and was very pleased with the end result.

I'll have to dig up the original photos for you that I took of Stephanie at this location... Remind me some time.
