From the 'L' – Revisited
It’s been nearly 3 years since I completed my From the ‘L’ project and I haven’t thought much about it since then. The last couple of years I’ve been pretty busy with some commissioned jobs and teaching and, of course, the whole parenting thing. But things have slowed down a bit the last couple of […]
Out of Chicago 'L' Photo Tour Recap
I had such a fun time last Saturday with Out of Chicago Photography and everyone who joined us for our ‘L’ Photo Tour! We started the morning off by meeting up at State & Lake where we jumped on the Green Line and headed west for some skyline shots at the Ashland stop. As […]
The Best of 2013
It’s that time of year again…where everyone sets out to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the new year. As this is a photography blog, I thought I’d reflect on the images I’ve made throughout this year and, just for fun, share my favorites! After reviewing my 2013 images I was a […]
From the 'L' – a book
If you read my blog with any regularity, you know I finished my From the ‘L’ series earlier this year. This is the first full series I set out to do and the first I’ve completed! To commemorate this little achievement I’ve put together a book of the best images from each line, I also […]
Bronzeville…Pick 24 of 52 Adventures in Chicago
Yep, I’m still planning to finish this deck of cards…it might take me 10 years to do it, but I’m gonna do it! Today the whole family headed over to Bronzeville after I took the kids Christmas card pictures at Grant Park. I was kind-of prodded to get over there for a client project, I […]
The 'L' from Above
It’s been awhile since I’ve shot the el, I’ve taken a little break since completing my From the ‘L’ series. But today I thought I’d grab the chance to shoot from a location I’ve been meaning to get to for months. The corner of Lake & Wells is an ideal location to get some shots […]
From the 'L': Series Conclusion
Working on a series is something I’ve wanted to do for years and for years I could never seem to come up with a series I wanted to work on. But one afternoon last fall, after making the decision to spend less time on portrait work and more time on finding my niche in the […]
From the 'L': Pink Line
The final line of the series! Of all the lines, only the yellow and pink were lines I had never ridden on prior to starting this series. And had the pink line been around when I worked at UIC I would have ridden it everyday, it opened in 2006, right about the time I took […]
From the 'L': Purple Line
Finally a sunny Tuesday! I am all too familiar with the Tuesday weather pattern since it’s my only guaranteed day for some photography. And after what feels like months of nothing but gray, gloomy skies I was thrilled to see some sunshine today, even if it was absolutely freezing! While I prefer the cloudy skies […]
From the 'L': Red Line
If you saw yesterday’s post you know I covered both the red and yellow lines of the ‘L’. I’ve probably traveled the red line more than any other line in the city but have never taken it further north than the Addison stop or further south than the Sox/35th stop. Seems crazy since I’ve been […]
