So, this is the only time you’ll ever see an iPhone picture on this blog, but if you want to see more you can check out www.ordinarypictures.tumblr.com. This is a new blog I started as an outlet for my photography that is more of just a personal extension of life in general. I know I’m [...]
Last week I went down to Joliet Jr. College to witness some classes where IBEW (electrical workers union) members are getting training for green jobs…though most of the jobs have yet to materialize in the region. The article by Sudeep Reddy spells out the issue. Visually, a challenging assignment but that’s just fine with me. [...]

There are some other really talented folks in there as well like Hawaii’s [...]

I photographed members of a comedy troupe (Chicago’s Best Church of God) staging a mock protest, basically making sure to poke fun at every imaginable denomination. The next was for a volunteers issue, photographing a Planned Parenthood volunteer [...]
