Indiana Dunes & The Chicago Skyline
Long on my photo bucket list has been to shoot the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes State Park. At certain times of the year, the sun sets directly behind the skyline and with a telephoto lens you can capture this stunning view. Last Friday, I finally got over there and lucked out with a […]
Northwestern University Photowalk, May 2023
It’s been awhile since I did a group photowalk so leading up to the Chicago workshop I offered a 3-hour walk around the Northwestern University campus in Evanston. This gave workshop participants an opportunity to see a different part of the Chicagoland area and shoot something we never cover in the workshops. Plus, others could […]
Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo | Juan O’Gorman
One more CDMX visit to share with you. I loved this space more than anticipated, likely because there are some great staircases 😉 Obviously, there’s more to it – the minimalism, the colors, the textures. All around a fun space to photograph.
Mexico City 2023
Three weeks ago I headed to CDMX for a full week of photography. Both for a collaboration with St Regis Mexico City and to scout for a 2024 workshop. What a great week! I cannot say enough about how amazing I thought the city was – the people (so friendly), the architecture (amazing – old […]
Casa Luis Barragán
Next on the Luis Barragán visits while in CDMX were his studio, house, and gardens. I arrived a bit early so started in the gardens across from the house. Now, for the tour of his home. Unfortunately, I had some pretty gloomy weather for my visit so I didn’t have the nice light streaming through […]
Casa Gilardi | Luis Barragán
I was recently in Mexico City for a collaboration with St Regis Mexico City which was about exploring the city’s architecture for marketing content. Of course, no visit to this city is complete without visiting some of Luis Barragán’s designs. The first, of three, that I’ll be sharing here is Casa Gilardi. His signature vibrant […]
Burberry at Night
There are a handful of Chicago buildings I’ve been meaning to shoot for quite a long time and keep procrastinating on it because I truly hate using a tripod. Particularly, for abstracts. I feel like I lose all creative freedom because instead of seeing the compositions I’m so focused on the damn tripod. I’m sure […]

Today, let’s take a look at the amazing shots the participants got! Scott Lawrence Scott joined us from the Detroit area and is sharing some shots from […]
Los Angeles 2023 Workshop Recap
The first workshop of 2023 is in the books! LA’s been having some odd weather this year and it sure wasn’t the most cooperative for us but we still had a great time and got some great shots. Just gotta improvise your approach when you don’t get the sun you expect/hope for. Same goes for […]
FreshLens Photowalk
Last weekend I spent a couple of hours showing the teens of FreshLens some of Chicago’s great architecture. If you’re not familiar with FreshLens, it’s a program meant to bring the arts, specifically photography, to teens of under-resourced areas of Chicago. Upon completion of the intro course, each teen receives a camera to further their […]
