Image of the Moment Monday: “Getaway.”
“Getaway.“
Camera: Contax 645
Lens: Carl Zeiss T* Planar 80mm f/2.0
Film: Fujifilm Pro 800Z
No. It’s not plastic.
It’s during the -0 degree Fahrenheit months in Chicago that I really wish I had time to get out and take a vacation somewhere warm.
Hopefully by next year this will all be a reality and not some sort of wish. =)
The Best From 2009
It took me a little while, but I managed to put together a “Best Of” Archive from my 2009 weddings. Hope you enjoy and Happy Friday!!!
Image of The Moment: “On The River”
“On The River.“
Camera: Leica M4
Lens: 35mm f/2.0 Summicron
Film: Tri-X 400
It’s amazing how the right film and camera can give the impression of a time long past. Shooting with Tri-X definitely gives an effect that this could have been shot in the 1800s if it weren’t for the modern skyline in the background.
Engagement: Sara & Steve (MY SISTER’S ENGAGEMENT PART DEUX!!!)
It is with mucho mucho fanfare that I worked with my sister and her fiance again. This time, Sara and Steve chose to shoot at the Garfield Park Conservatory:
Congratulations Sara =)

Engagement: Tiffany & Sebastian
Tiffany and Sebastian met through co-workers and friends, hanging out at bars and drinking.
What made this different though is that while everyone would be happy just chatting away with casual smalltalk and conversation, Tiffany & Sebastian would have serious conversations in the corner of the bar. Nothing was off topic. From Politics to Religion, the conversations they would have were not the usual barfare
Things blossomed on their own from there =).
It was incredible working with Tiffany and Sebastian. They were so incredibly patient while I ran around and worked like a fool to set up my shots =) Thank you guys so much!
Locations:
Chicago’s Shore
Gear:
Onto the images:
We went first to the Harold Washington Library’s Winter Garden:
While shooting, Tiffany randomly found a Post-It note with the words “Smile: =)” on them.
We put it to good use:
Since we were at a library after all, we decided to make use of the books also =D:
Along with that we did some fun things with the rest of the library:
Finishing up with the Library, we then went to the Chicago Cultural Center:
And finally to the shoreline in Chicago that could show a skyline at night =)
Congratulations again you guys!!! I can’t wait for the wedding in September!!!

Image of The Moment Monday: “The 5 Points.”
“The Five Points.“
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5
10 images taken going from left to right with my Nikon D200 and then stitched together using autostitch are what created this image.
A Graffiti Mecca, The 5 Points in Manhattan, New York showcases some of the finest graffiti work in the world.
The was no other way to describe how much works of art are on display for anyone and everyone to see here.
No single image of a single piece of art on display here could completely show how incredible and amazing The Five Points are to behold in person.
As much as I tried, I couldn’t find a single image that I felt would be satisfying enough for me to display the staggering amount of work on display to any and all.
So I decided to pull out a tripod to capture an image of all the artwork =D
