The ad above was selected as one of the best Apple ads by an editor at Huffington Post<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 The Jesuit priest \u2014 Creighton University\u2019s Fr. Don Doll, who appeared in it (along with rocker Todd Rundgren<\/a><\/strong>) \u2014 dropped an e-mail about the experience to CNS: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In an email titled \u201cA bit of Creighton in Apple history\u201d and sent to Catholic News Service late last week by Creighton\u2019s communications department, Father Doll told the story: \u201cHere\u2019s how I was invited to be in the Apple campaign \u2018What\u2019s on your PowerBook?\u2019 Creighton graduate, Christian Wolfe, who had excelled in my publication design course, was an Los Angeles\u00a0BBDO account executive with the Apple account who called asking if I had a black clerical suit, and if I would consider being in an Apple ad campaign. \u00a0I called my Jesuit superiors in Milwaukee to see if there were any issues with my appearance in an ad. They didn\u2019t have any.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple flew me out first class, put me in in a San Francisco boutique hotel. \u00a0We went out to the little, formerly Catholic church now a nondenominational wedding chapel, in Tiburon, across the bay from San Francisco, where I met Todd Rundgren (whom I had never heard of before!), and Michael O\u2019Brien, the photographer, whom I did meet years earlier as an award winning National Press Photographer.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael O\u2019Brien exposed 76 rolls of 120 film over 2-3 hours. The ad was run in black and white and color in numerous national magazines. I received numerous calls from former students who saw the ad.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, Father Doll, an award-winning photographer himself,\u00a0noted that he was\u00a0\u201dpleased with the ad as it showed a priest in a good light.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those who are curious, some of the things listed on Fr. Doll\u2019s PowerBook included: wedding homilies, grant proposal for a book, scans of pictures taken in Ireland, and \u201cdesign for my Christmas card.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
