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 […]
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 […]
Photo Series | Triptychs
I’ve discussed photo series a few times on this blog and in webinars. Soon, I’ll cover this topic for the 2023 Out of Chicago LIVE! Conference. Both, in a free photo challenge (on Jan 24, at noon) and then more comprehensively during the conference on February 5. So, if this topic interests you, sign up […]
Cloudscrapers in LensWork Trilogies
I’m honored to share three of my images from my Cloudscrapers series are part of the new LensWork Trilogies book! This series has been ongoing for years, though I haven’t made a new image for this series in quite awhile. If you saw my recent post on inspiration, well, you see I’ve been stuck – […]

This is the first year I’ve entered this particular competition so this was a very pleasant surprise. And it was so nice to have a mix of […]
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
It’s always fun to explore outside of the downtown Chicago area on private photowalks for a change of scenery. 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 […]
San Francisco Workshop Recap 2022
The inaugural San Francisco workshop! We spent 3 days checking out the city’s best architecture from the museums, highrises, and, of course, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Lucky me, I had another fantastic group! About half have been on a workshop with me before and the other half were first-timers. A few locals and the […]
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 […]
