Pictures for the Chicago Olympic Bid Part 1
By admin in Portraits, Recent Work, SportsIn September of last year I was asked, along with prominent Chicago photographers Sandro and Saverio Truglia, to be part of a project for Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics which was being put together by Ogilvy & Mather. The task was to go around Chicago and capture real Chicagoans passionately pursuing sports in the city- whether they train and hope to be professional athletes someday or they’re a couple of friends grabbing a pick-up game while the weather is nice. There was a film portion shot by Leslie, Paul and Mark Dektor of The Cartel and we had 4 days to shoot whatever we could before we had to hand in the images to go to Copenhagen the following week.
This is some of what I shot.
Check back soon for more…

Owen Portrait
By admin in Music, Portraits, Recent WorkI just took some new shots of Mike Kinsella for his band Owen. We decided that it should be a family portrait considering his newest addition to the family unit (pictured screaming).
The noble family unit.
We’re now working on a music video for the first single of his next record.

My trip to the Badlands
By admin in Landscape, Recent Work, TravelLast week my girlfriend and I made a trip out to the Badlands with some close friends and slept among buffalo, antelope, elk and rattlesnakes. We ate a lot of travel food and did a lot of hiking to work some of it off. People in South Dakota make great pies.

I’m shooting a new White Sox campaign
By admin in Recent Work, SportsI’ve recently been shooting several images for a new ad campaign for the Chicago White Sox. The campaign is called “Traditions” and focuses on that aspect of fandom where baseball is part of people’s everyday lives where we’re taking snapshots of a variety of situations that White Sox fans have made into traditions. The shooting is still in progress but here’s a shot that we did that has already hit the streets and is in magazines and billboards around Chicago.
It’s about kids who make a snowman into an effigy of White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, which is something that happens quite bit in the winter.
