Finding Your Style (guest post at Rob Domaschuk Photography)
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. – Elliott Erwitt I’m excited to be guest blogging over at Rob Domaschuk Photography today about […]
Let's Go Cubbies! Pick 21 of 52 Adventures in Chicago
You might remember that this little deck of cards, 52 Adventures in Chicago, is one of the main factors that pushed me to start blogging about a year and a half ago. We had just moved back to Chicago and these cards started as way to get me out shooting the city while, hopefully, making […]
An Afternoon of Abstracts
The anxiety has been settling in from the lack of photography being made lately or the poor photography that has been of the last couple weeks, not even one shot worth posting anywhere. Today a little inspiration was in order; first a stop by the Catherine Edelman gallery to check out an exhibition of Michael […]
Series Updates
What a perfect day for a little photography! I think we’ve finally escaped our brutal winter weather and have embraced spring…let’s hope it’s here to stay! My main goal today was to get some images of the Chicago River and its bridges but I can’t seem to get the vantage point I need. Anyone out […]
A Thousand Points of Light…a new series
One of my photographic goals this year is to work on a few series and complete at least one each year. This particular series was another one that kind-of crept up on me. I was shooting the bean last fall and attempting to find an unique way to photograph it, I was playing around with […]
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 […]
Nature & Man
Occasionally I develop a new series of images from recognizing a certain pattern in my photography that is entirely unplanned. A certain subject matter that I keep coming back to. This series, Nature & Man, is one of those. If you follow my blog or posts to Facebook regularly you can see that I love […]
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 […]
