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 […]
Downtown Wanderings
Last Friday we finally had some sunshine, along with some pretty cold temps, which seems unavoidable in the winter. Oh well, despite the cold, I think I finally have a little project idea in mind. I need sunshine and clear skies so I had to take advantage of the right conditions. I’m not going to […]
Carbide and Carbon Building
On this freezing cold day, I decided to continue the procrastination on something I’ve been meaning to do for years and is especially top of mind lately. Why? A couple of reasons – this thing is new, I don’t entirely know where or how to begin, and we had sun for the first time in […]
Order in the Chaos | Chicago Magazine
What an absolute honor to work with Chicago Magazine again this year. Always such a pleasure working with the editors and writers of the magazine. Earlier this year, the photo editor reached out to me with the idea of sharing my more abstract takes on some of my favorite Chicago locations for an 8-page feature […]
Private Photowalk – Northwestern University, September 2022

Last week I spent half a day at the Northwestern University campus with a lovely lady from Philly 🙂 We explored the newish buildings right along the lakefront + the fantastic brutalist library on campus. First […]
Private Photowalk – Chicago, July 2022
A beautiful summer day for the most recent private photowalk. We started the day in Millennium Park and lucked out with some great clouds reflecting in the Bean (Anish Kapoor). Despite it being summer and it usually being very busy, it was pretty calm when we arrived at 9am on a Monday, allowing this detailed […]

Another great Chicago workshop is in the books. Another fantastic group joined me for 3 days exploring the city. Let’s take a look at some of their shots from the weekend. Celine Hartwig Celine joined us from Iowa and is sharing shots of a couple of Chicago’s best staircases (The Rookery & The Art Institute) […]
Chicago Workshop Recap 2022
We had a beautiful weekend for the Chicago workshop this year! And, a great group, of course. They traveled from near (Chicago area, Wisconsin, Michigan) and far (NYC, Iowa, San Fran area, Seattle area) to be here. A big thank you to all of them! I’m definitely lucky with such wonderful people signing up for […]
Start to Finish – how I approach shooting an architectural subject
I recently asked on Instagram what you’d all like to learn more about and this was one of the requests, it’s also come up on workshops and elsewhere so it’s about time I try to tackle this subject. It’s a tough one to do through a blog post and why I have been avoiding it, […]
Cascade | Forcade Associates
Late last fall I shot some of the wayfinding and signage at Cascade & Cascade park for Forcade Associates. One of the newest luxury apartment additions to the Lakeshore East neighborhood alongside a fantastic park. Here’s a look at Forcade’s, always, innovative graphic designs.
