Shot the DePaul vs. Louisville Women’s Basketball game for US PRESSWIRE on Tuesday.
Here’s some shots from the game.
Next up, Cleveland State @ UIC on Sunday.
We got our second large dumping of snow on Friday, and as any normal person would do, I grabbed my cameras and headed downtown to do some street photography.
Friday marked the maiden voyage of my Mamiya C3, we’ll have to wait for me to get the film developed to see how atrociously I messed [...]
Had to take Aaron to the airport this morning at 5am, and seeing as how I probably couldn’t will myself to wake up that early any other time, I decided to make the most of it and drive down to Starved Rock State Park.
I’ve been feeling a little antsy lately, cooped up I suppose. [...]
Got the first snow storm of the year (also of my life) today. I’ve got about 5 inches of snow on the tree branches outside my window, so I’m going to assert that that’s how much snow we got. It’s still coming down, and should keep on dumping for at least overnight, maybe into tomorrow [...]
This one is a little delayed. I’ve been doing a lot of programming the past few days, and as a result have avoided being on the computer after work, so as not to recount terrible memories of javascript.
Anyways, these were taken on Sunday after church, walking around downtown running errands. Going back downtown tomorrow, [...]
Man. I’ve been feeling inspired lately or something. Third straight day doing street shooting. I took the train over to Belmont today, walked over to the water, and walked down through Lincoln Park until I got to Fullerton, then completed the loop. It was a little unnerving walking through the park and seeing the ice [...]
Tonight’s subject was trains. Trains going by, ambulances crossing train tracks, and people on the trains.
Admittedly, there is an inherent risk photographing people on trains. I’m pretty sneaky, but you can’t exactly run away if someone gets agitated with you.
Looks like I’ll live to fight another day though.
I did some street photography downtown today after getting lunch with Scott Strazzante. He gave me some good pointers and let me in on his method (which helped assuage my fear that I was supposed to walk up to people and snap a picture in their face). Let’s just say I didn’t [...]
In Florida for the week for my sister’s masters graduation ceremony in Gainesville. Snapped this one from the backyard of my parent’s house in St. Augustine, overlooking the golf course. I realized how much I miss seeing the stars in the night sky.
My digital world has started to get to me. When I’m not taking digital photographs, I’m usually programming something on my computer, and if I’m not doing that, I’m probably reading the Tribune or CNN on my iPad, or checking in somewhere on FourSquare. I’m typing this on a laptop right now, for heaven’s sake. [...]
