Social Circles

See the guy in the photo? I don't know him. Well, that's what I thought initially. While out testing lenses a friend let me borrow, he appeared in the frame and I thought to myself "what an awesome, candid stride-by."

A few hours later, I saw a shot on my Instagram feed from Millennium Park taken around the same time I was there. Turns out, it was posted by Marc - the guy in my shot (I noticed the same hat in his profile picture) - whom I've been following for a while now. We've never actually met and didn't get a chance to formally meet, but what a small world huh?

Chicago | April 20th, 2015

Street photography can be like batting practice. The more you do it, the better chance you have of hitting some shots out the park.

The Dream & The Team

Is it still a dream if you experience it while awake? On the early morning of Friday April 10th, 2015, I walked inside U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. In an effort to make their social media presence even more special, 4 “social influencers” (myself included) were granted access to photograph the entire place before anyone else was allowed in! If it weren’t for Choose Chicago, I’m not sure I would’ve ever had the chance to view the stadium from the other side of the seats.

ST. PATRICK'S 2015

Ahh, the annual dyeing of the Chicago River to kick-off St. Patrick's Day. Every year Chicagoans and people from all over the world head to one of many bridges to secure a prime viewing angle for this city tradition.

Immediately after the greening, crowds head south down Columbus Drive to watch the annual St. Patricks day parade full of waves. 

But, uh, who's gonna handle the cleanup?
