Walking Down the Street
Since I’ve finally got time to put up a blog post this morning, I thought I’d post another from the A Late Night in A Small Town ‘series’. This was taken last week, in Beecher, IL. As always, click the thumbnail for the full sized version, and if you want to buy any prints, please [...]
R.I.P. Cemetery Bridge
I was out in the south suburbs and further last night, hoping to do some night shooting. In my pre-sunset scouting, I headed south of Grant Park, IL to a bridge I’d named The Cemetery Bridge, mostly for the fact that the road you turned down to get there was just before a cemetery on [...]
A Late Night in the Country
I’ve been preparing photos for the website presentation of the Late Night in the Small Town series I’ve been working on, and figured I’d put one up big that probably works better here than it did in the small version on Flickr….It’s been busy around here this week, I’ll get back to more normal posting [...]
The Last of the Music
I’ve probably got more concert photos than I realized when I started this week long series, but they get kinda boring after a while, especially all right in a row. So, let’s end on a high note, with one of my last concert photos, from Lollapalooza 2005. Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve [...]
Thursday’s Concert Photo; And Bye Bye PSC
Today’s concert photo is from a Kaiser Chief’s show at the Park West in Chicago. They were the last act of many that night. If I recall correctly, we were there to illustrate a story about the now-defunct band Caviar, and I did a mini photo shoot with them in the backstage area of the [...]
A B&W Concert Photo and a Video
Today’s concert photo is an interesting one. For one, the band, Sleater-Kinney, is no more, they broke up last year, and for another, I almost got kicked out of the venue for taking this photo. I’m not sure why, but concert photography, bands, and venue security are all strange animals. After shooting the requisite three [...]
Another Day…
…another concert photo. Just a quick post today as it’s nice outside, although a little chilly, and I need to get out in the sun. I promised a concert photo every day this week, so here it goes. This is the band called Head of Femur at their CD release part at the Subterranean in [...]
Changes
This week, I thought I’d change it up from the usual fare and show a selection of my concert photography over the years that I did that. Today, I’ll start with two photos from one of my first concerts, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. This was at the Metro, one [...]
It’s Football Season
Thank goodness, it’s time for football again. The NCAA season got underway last weekend, and the NFL started last night. It may be a sign of the coming cold months, but bring it on. Since it is that time of year, let’s go with a football related photo this morning. How about the third largest [...]
Photography Is Not A Crime
Let me set something straight first, I am not a terrorist. I am just a photographer who likes to take pictures of all things industrial and transportation related, because I think they make for interesting subjects. I’ve always been fascinated by such things. However, since 9/11, I can’t count the number of times I’ve been [...]
Loaded Up and Truckin’
Yesterday, a Yahoo news item came across my computer stating that Jerry Reed, musician and actor, had died at the age of 71. Sad news indeed, as his role in “Smokey and the Bandit” as the truck driving Snowman, was one of the many influences on me as a kid that spurred my interest in [...]
The End of Summer
Since we are at the unofficial end of the summer, I figured I’d post something to keep the warm weather going a little longer. This is a warm summer evening at one of my favorite spots in Chicago-land, the Monee Reservoir in south-suburban Monee, IL. While it’s open year round, fisherman populate the banks of [...]
