Real Photo With A Real Camera

Hey!!! That Was My Idea!!!

Excuse me #6, I was here first!! I would love to see the opposite photo that his girlfriend was taking, kinda the yin and yang of Times Square photos.

I (heart) NY

The above photo is an out-take from yesterdays shoot around NY. I haven't had time to retouch or perform any post-production on this image yet, but I wanted to post it because I just love the look on the little girls face as she looks up towards our model Carly. Shooting on location in NY can be an adventure, but our team did great, and I will share some cool stories and photos once I recover.

Sundown

June 31st marked the day in NYC where the sun sets directly in line with the the street grid. Here is a shot taken from my terrace towards the Empire State Building (with my camera phone). Your next opportunity will be July 11th.

Vegas Should Be Illegal

Break out the caution tape and wrap it around the whole freakin' city! Thats what they need to do. There are things that happen here that I believe are illegal in the other 49 states and Guam. Now as we all know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas so I won't break the code here. Problems arose when I found out that the bartender at the Palms pool bar grew up a few blocks away from me in Chicago, from then on I drank for free and yadda yadda yadda I'm really tired today.

The film festival, (why I went down there in the first place), was amazing! My buddy Todd who directed the movie "Throwing Stars" did an incredible job! It is laugh out loud funny and his success couldn't of happened to a better person. Add to it the cast and crew not only did an amazing job in the movie, but in person, they couldn't of been friendlier.

It was also a great opportunity to see my friends from LA that I haven't seen in like 2 years. I must admit, I do miss LA. The Photo above is my friend Holly, myself and my friend Ron. Holly is an international movie star, Ron is a world renowned music producer, and I'm tan. Like I said, free drinks at the Palms pool, 100 degree temps and plenty of sun, do the math.

Who Likes Radiators? . . . I DO I DO !!!!!!!

Seems like famous fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti likes them as well. (The second image is his from the latest issue of Italian Vogue)

What Are You Looking At?

Yes this is the inside of my garage. No this is not my bike.

Approachable

These were taken at the beach near my house in Chicago and in my family's backyard. And yes, Chicago has a beach. Not the usual type of photography you might see from me, but you have to appeal to the local market.

Shooting in Chi-town

I finally was able to shoot in my native Chicago, utilizing some rather interesting locations. Here are a couple samples from the shoot.
