Chance The Rapper's Magnificent Coloring Day Festival

September 25, 2016

Thumbs all the way up for #MCD! A product of Chicago's south side, Chance The Rapper has done the unthinkable: set a new attendance record for U.S. Cellular Field. Normally the White Sox play on 35th, but it was a slew of artists who performed for about 44,000 screaming fans on Saturday night. Scheduled to play were John Legend, Alicia Keys, Tyler, The Creator, Young Thug (who was a late scratch), Skrillex, and Chance himself, but to everyone's surprise, Kanye West popped up and showed out. What a magnificent night for the ages.

After such success, one has to speculate if this will become an annual festival and/or if it will open the doors for more musical performances on Chicago's often-ignored south side...

Pitchfork Music Fest 2016

July 18, 2016

A melting pot of music, if you will, the annual 3-day Pitchfork Music Fest took Place in Union Park in Chicago over the weekend and as a first-time photog, I could not have asked for a better experience shooting new, eccentric, and amazing performers from all corners of the globe. From Miguel, Savages, and Chicago's own Jeremih, to FKA Twigs, Twin Peaks, and Empress Of, what a show. At times, I failed to remove myself as a fan and got caught up in the music but can you really blame me? Enjoy the shots!
