Web 2.0 Portraits - Gary Vaynerchuk (garyvee)

Gary Vay.ner.chuk

You may or may not know Gary Vaynerchuk. If you don’t, you will some day soon. He’s the most motivated, hard-working, and inspirational person I know. He works beyond long days, and says he gets angry when his eyelids start to droop late at night. Wine is one of Gary’s biggest passions. He might not always be known for wine, but it will always be where he got his start. His energy and excitement are contageous. Don’t believe me? Watch one of his videos.

I think the portrait highlights both Gary’s serious & playful sides. The green and white in the background represent the NY Jets, the team Gary one day hopes to own. I’ve got a feeling he will.

Check out my first Web 2.0 Portrait (also below), featuring Owen JJ Stone aka OhDoctah.

What do you think of this concept? What can I do to improve upon it?

Web 2.0 Portraits - Owen JJ Stone (OhDoctah)

The Doctah!

This is the first entry in a series I’m tentatively calling Web 2.0 Portraits. And this, my friends, is ya boy Owen JJ Stone AKA OhDoctah. I met Owen this year at SXSWi and he’s become a really good friend of mine. What’s great about this photo is that it makes him out to be this big bully, when in reality, he’s just a big teddy bear. He wouldn’t hurt a fly (although I can’t speak for the gun). Owen is one of the nicest, most genuine, and most passionate people I’ve met in this space and he’s been nothing but a friend to me. So the next time you see him at a conference, go up & say hello. He’s not as scary as this portrait makes him out to be.
