Three Hour Photo Session For BC Business

written by John Chow on May 7, 2007

Build Your Online Business Now

The photographer for BC Business Magazine was over this morning to take my picture for an upcoming issue. They wanted to project an image that blogging can be done anywhere and at anytime, even when you’re in your bathrobe. Luckily, I just happen to have a nice Versante bathrobe laying around.

The photo session lasted over three hours as photographer Nick Westover tried to capture that “blogging in jammies” look. We took some shots of me sitting at my workstation and with my notebook by the stairs. Even Sally got in on some of the photos.

I didn’t get a chance to see any of the photos so I have no idea what they look like. However, I’m sure it’ll look better than this.

Yes, you really can blog in your bathrobe. Look for me in the June (or July) issue of BC Business magazine.

Even Al Gore keeps a messy desk in his office. As long as he doesn't ruin the rest of the world, I guess.

Man, you keep your desk quite neat.

What's your keyboard?

I'm looking for a black, useful and comfortable USB keyboard.

Lovin' the blog and it's extremely resourceful. Congrats, by the way!

Yeah, for a dot com mogul, your workspace still looks double mod -- modern yet modest. The more I see this picture, the more I'm starting to like that chair; what kind is it and where did you get it? Maybe you could throw in some furniture along with the video card package you're giving away, John LOL I know, I'm pushing it.

I like your blogging room... blogging space... blogging workspace, blogging zone... how you call that? workstation. Very nice

fark.. where am i going to get myself a copy of this mag? I'll have to wait til John makes it to Time

I've worked in front of the PC in much less clothing LOL I guess all that creativity and ingenuity come from very good ventilation, eh. :lol:

John-
Please don't open your kimono, except for money making tips.

:twisted:

Haha! you funny guy! :twisted:
nice moniters tho..
what sizes are they? :shock:

I don’t understand, John. I’ve been doing EVERYTHING you’ve said in your posts, and I’ve followed all your advice, and I even got a massage chair and set up two LCD monitors, purchased a wireless keyboard and mouse, set up my desk with speakers and a remote control, put a rubik’s cube and a Blackberry and a can of diet Coke and a container of WetOnes at my workstation, found a toy dog to put on top of my tower, positioned a small globe between my monitors, placed miscellaneous high-tech devices all around my desk, bought a condo with beige walls and set up my office facing the window, dressed in a white bathrobe and bought ChonJow.com, paid for expensive surgery to turn myself Chinese, AND I’M STILL NOT JOHN CHOW. What is with this? I thought if I copied every single thing you did I’d have discovered the amazing secrets to becoming rich and famous and successful and wildly popular just by sitting on my computer all day. Instead, I’m just another piss-poor, unoriginal wannabe blogger faking his way through the web with carpal tunnel syndrome and too many ads on his site.

hello, you got teeth like a horse

and you look like a shadow of an ugly person . . . hahahaha

I've blogged in my towel plenty of times, haha! :mrgreen:

gotta get myself a robe, put this as number 8 tips to be a successful blogger john! haha

Actually John, I prefer to blog naked. Jammies are old-school! Suppose that wouldn't look to hot in the local business paper though....

Am I the only one that spotted the Mac Mini . . the APPLE Mac Mini on the left side of the table? JOHN CHOW USES A MAC! that's my next blog post! hahahaha . . . keep livin it up john!

so would I like to but well. not everybody's making 10'000+ with their blogs :)

That's not a Mac Mini. That's a ADS Tech hard drive enclosure. It just looks like a Mac Mini.

the first thing I noticed is your funny smile John. haha. and you are a gadget freak. can't blame you anyway since you're now earning 11k$ in a month... or even more.

That's how I look also, working at home :)

lol...interesting JC, very interesting.

A nice, clean setup you have there too.

i like your dual monitor setup... hope to get my own soon.

as soon as i MAKE SOME MONEY WITH JOHN CHOW

Wet ones and a stuffed animal -- great decor you got there, John! I swear, your pictures just get better and better each time. You should tell the guys at BC Business to use this rather candid picture instead.

hah i have to agree with ed ..you look like a doofus :D :grin: :lol:

Will be waiting for the June/July BC Business magazine, especially for those awesome pics!!!

LOL! You look like such a doofus.

Hey John, Why do you have 2 LCD screens? Does both share the same cpu? How do you utilize them?

Yes, computers can operate with multiple monitors. With my computer's Windows XP operating system, it only took a few keystrokes and mouse movements to set things up.

And according to the studies that have been done on it, adding an extra monitor can increase your productivity by 20 to 30 percent. BTW, nice setup John. :wink:

I use 2 screens in my home office. Productivity is far better with this setup then just a single screen, especially when trying to move data between a spreadsheet and email for example. You can copy from 1 screen to the second with out having to minimise and maximise the 2 windows.

John

Please more photos of your home office!!!!

Bye

wait for the issue of BC mag and you'll surely see a lot.

Wow...great to see your big smile man! Remember to post the magazine to let us see.(malaysia dont have BC Business magazine)

Is that like a super huge mousemat? :roll:

Yep. 17.7" x 15.7" I like lots of mousing space!

john what kind of chair is that? I'm looking for a new office chair with neck support

:wink:

I have a massage chair. And it's way better than the Sharper Image one. Cost a ton more too. :roll:

Ever tried it as computer chair ?

I don't have the buying power that you do
so I must limit my simple dreams to what I can eventually reach/afford :wink:

They have been going down in price a wee bit lately since newer model came out.

Witch one do you have ?

Really nice chair , thanks for the info , I did not knew those existed ( brand , design , feature ) , I like the *air arm massage* , I think I have found my new dream computer chair :wink:

:mrgreen:

Wow. THREE hours of photography? That's very long. :wink: I'm sure you look better than that. :wink:

John you need a new making money Dotcom Mogul LCD's layout.
