TweetI recently had a few shoots for TimeOut Chicago’s series highlighting unique and valuable Chicago eateries that are struggling in the nonsense economy we have. I was also exposed to some cool new places that I might just have to go check out on my own time. This is an outtake of Bobby Syed, owner [...]

Urban ‘Yakker
TweetI took out the lights the other day for a little essay I’ve gotta shoot this weekend. Thanks for the colors yellow and orange.
Eggleston’s Paris
TweetThe book release is coming. I can’t wait. I remember in my first college photo class, after I came back from an assignment with a bunch of pictures of a white truck in the woods, shot for no apparent reason other than I always jogged by the site and found it curious, my professor Luke [...]
Nikki
TweetNikki Jason is a woman I met recently on a freelance assignment. She’s put her passion for skateboarding into goodwill gestures towards her community, organizing skate events and a skateboard camp for girls.

TweetThis morning I visited a woman, Amy Abercrombie in New Marshfield, who, among other things, plays the cello and loves to garden. I’m gonna miss the places and people around OU when I leave in June.
Crazy World
TweetLast week I had the privelege of photographing local professor Dr. Damien Nance for an upcoming article about his (in the ’80′s) radical theories of continental drift that are becoming more widely accepted. He was a great guy and the shoot was fun and easy because I actually had someone help me moving lights around. [...]
trapped indoors, if you choose.
Tweet It’s been snowing a ton the past week, but last Thursday in a bout of clairvoyance decided to suck it up and spend the afternoon putting the snow tires on my car…well worth the frozen hands and muddy, slush soaked jeans it cost me. Later that weekend I spent some time at Bryan House [...]
“you look blissed”
TweetI rarely ever go black and white … but that was the request here. A few more shots, in a different style, for the artist mentioned a few posts ago. I think I can dig the b/w for portrait stuff though. It’s just the music I’m really anxious for.
