I hope you have a wonderful and safe Holiday!

Looks like we won't get any snow for the 2011 Holiday in Chicagoland -- and I'm good with that.

Here's some snow in my e-card...

A handful of images from the Fall, 2011, limited prints available.

If you haven't been -- take a ride on one of the Wendella Boat Tours!  Thanks Bob!

Before the cold winds came howling

I had the pleasure of meeting Sasha Bonilova at a photo assignment for a client. We took the opportunity to make some images along the lakefront one morning a few weeks back. Sasha had recently adorned the pages of Playboy magazine in May of 2011. Let me know if you're interested in a signed print, thanks from both of us.

Marilyn on the Mag Mile

A new work of art on North Michigan Avenue has certainly spurred many opinions. It's been vandalized twice since the unveiling.

Fun @ the ballpark

I had an opportunity to attend a recent Cubs vs. Astros baseball game and walked around Wrigley Field bit with the new fisheye lens, among others.

A handful from the past few weeks.

This is a representation of some of the gigs over the last few weeks.

Images range from a fund raising event for a local high school with actor Joe Mantegna; the Chicago Tribune Lit Fest - a two day event - featuring two of Tribune Company's more popular staff - John Kass and Tom Skilling; Chicago Live! stage show - featuring the Chicago Children's Choir who were amazing; and a friend's foundation fund raising event at a Blues club for for a kid's music program.

Westchester Prairie Fog

Took a walk through the Westchester Prairie, always a good spot for interesting imagery.

Fun in the rain, & CS5

Made the image last evening during a storm, had some fun in CS5 as well.

variation on a theme

and yet another

A rose, is a rose, is a rose..., we're not talk'in Derrick Rose here.

Joyce Carol Oates illustration

From an image I made of the author last evening @ a Chicago Tribune event @ the Harold Washington library. During her discussion with Julia Keller, Oates displayed quite a forlorn look as she discussed her latest offering, "A Widow's Story". The illustration is from a cropped section of an image, with several PS enhancements including sharpening/filters/saturation adjustments among others.
