Two blog posts in one day?  I think this is worthy…page 58 of the Powder Gear Guide (Vol. 39 No.1 Sept 2010) has a tiny photo of mine on it.  It’s so small that I actually missed it the first time flipping the pages.  It’s so small I didn’t make the contributing photographers list.  49 [...]

Looking into the Double Door (and the heart of the Chicago music scene) via the window on Milwaukee Ave on 9/23/06.  After “Hard to Sleep“, this is my favorite street capture as it evokes such good memories going back beyond the Double Door’s existence to my first taste of live music at venue’s like The Metro, [...]

As I prep for a trip back “home” to Chicago to actually “work” as a photographer for the first time,  I find myself wondering how the past 3 years have affected my image making and what that will do to my interpretations of the city that was my original photographic muse?  (kick ass run-on sentence) [...]

I shot this scene from the Alta parking lot yesterday really just to document the avalanche and skiing activity for fellow back country users.  Some of you have keener eyes than I do and after some serious cropping to a 100% zoomed image we seem to have found the snow bath of a coyote? Kinda [...]

Special thanks to Shaun Raskin and Ned Lindner as well as Julian Carr at Discrete Headwear for scrambling to make a very last minute and rather desperate lifestyle shoot happen.  Shaun and Ned walk like nobody’s business.  True pro’s.  Creating winter in September is not the greatest scenario but we got the job done and [...]

Just because you find an image on the Internet or have access to it, doesn’t make it free. Think before you swipe that photo! http://dontscrewus.org
