My sweetest little nephew True was here for a visit recently. He’s a very spiffy dressed boy as you can see. As usual he was more interested in things below him rather than looking at me! We had fun but I was exhausted by the end of the shoot!

New Blog

After months of of preparation my blog is finally complete. It was a ton of work, as I had to go all the way back from 2007 to the present and start the whole process of preparing images for the web all over again. Not fun!

I’ve added lots of new work and filled in for all the months that I neglected on my old blog. I hope you like what you see. Please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I look forward to reading them!

holga {chicago, illinois}

I’ve visited Chicago every year for the past three years, the first year I tried to take a Holga shot of the Chicago Theater driving by in a car and it didn’t come out. The second year I made sure to not make the same mistake and parked our car and walked to the Theater, smart move right? Not the case at all!! A few hours out of Chicago realized I never took the lens cap off!!! Finally on the third year I made sure to again not do a drive by and throw the lens cap away. Finally on the third year here are my Holga shots of the Chicago Theater and Navy Pier!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about Chicago except the FREEZING cold weather in the winter!
