Tweet Well, again – probably one of the most interesting people I’ve met this year is Theaster Gates. Art in America magazine requested to use an image I had from a previous shoot with him for their interview that covered his work and process, which I’d recommend you check out.
Tweet One of my favorite images from the past year will be in the upcoming issue of Romka Magazine – a photo magazine out of Germany that celebrates personal work. The magazine is a collection of work by students, hobbyists, amateurs and a few professionals as well, but your job doesn’t matter to the publisher [...]
Tweet I still think a well designed newspaper page is just a beautiful thing. This actually ran in color (story here), but I think I like this just as much. I’ve been thinking about b/w again these days…it’s been almost 8 years since I really shot it.
Tweet This summer I got the chance to spend some time in the Wilco loft photographing Jeff Tweedy for Nylon Guys. He was a great guy and let us try a few different things but ultimately the best location ended up being a little corner where they actually lay down their tracks. We talked about [...]
Tweet One recent assignment that I enjoyed was getting to meet and photograph Chicago artist Theaster Gates. To call him an artist is possibly a bit limiting when describing his work. Check out the story about him and his ladder, and check out his site to learn a bit more about him.
Tweet Just as I had gotten back from California last month, I awoke on a Tuesday morning to find assignment e-mail requests from two London based publications. Even better was that these were both publications that I really like and respect. The funny thing about the Monocle assignment was that they had me going into [...]
Tweet Last month I spent some time in the Groupon Chicago offices making some pictures for the Guardian’s Weekend Magazine. While I had to make a lot of pictures in a short amount of time (especially of Mr. Mason) I think the editors and designers at the Guardian did a great job of making the [...]
Tweet A few weeks ago I made a tour through the different homes of Uptown, Chicago’s most diverse neighborhood, for TimeOut’s Uptown Story special issue. Because the opportunity for good Ethiopian doesn’t arise that often I made sure to stop at Demera after a day of shooting.
Tweet Towards the end of October I spent some time up in Greenville, Michigan photographing the new solar materials plant at United Solar Ovonic, but also took a look at the marks the industrial past in the town. Swedish manufacturing giant Electrolux closed the doors to their factory some years ago, moving operations to Mexico. [...]
Tweet I had brief portrait shoot down near Peoria, Ill. last month photographing Vincent Staub, a former employee of Proctor Hospital for the AARP Bulletin. At the hospital he worked as lab technician while balancing Army Reservist duties. He ended up being terminated, wrongfully he argues, and is now taking the case to the U.S. [...]
