Walk'in about downtown, a time for reflection.

A fun look @ Trump Tower in Chicago

Off Camera flash in a big space

Location shoot @ Midway Airport in Chicago, worked around a video crew to make stills for a cable television show. Group and individual pics in a near empty hangar - gelled a few flashes to add a bit of color to a dark background. A total of five flashes used on stands, three in the background @ 1/4 power were gelled w/blue, two in the foreground @ 1/2 power were diffused with Sto-Fen Omni-bounce diffusers next to the video lights to mimic their set up. Flashes were triggered with four Pocket Wizard plus units and one Wein peanut optical slave trigger, (ran out of PW's). The most difficult part of the shoot was pushing the other planes out of the way onto the runway... just kidding.

Chad and Jeremy @ Fitzgerald's

05.07.10. Berwyn, IL. Chad and Jeremy, the 1960's folk/pop duo performed @ the venerable Fitzgerald's this Friday evening. They entertained with wonderful harmonies, as well as humorous stories and quirky songs, including a cover of the "Shadows" famous instrumental "Apache" with original 'choreography'. A fun evening of sweet sounds and memories. Photo by Glenn Kaupert. © Glenn Kaupert, 2010.

Making some illustrations from Johhny A pix

Illustration from pix made @ SPACE in Evanston, IL of guitarist Johnny A. This piece included four layers, three filters, and three blend modes, along with a bit of letter spacing, (kerning), of the text in the final composite. The slow shutter of the camera and artful lighting of the performance added to the dramatic feel and color.

Johnny A @ Space in Evanston, IL 04.26.10

From sublime rhythms and soft touches to scorching distortion filled leads, "Johnny A" created an vast array of sounds and feelings this Monday evening @ Space in Evanston. A nod to, and with hints of Jimi Hendrix in his play, to a bit of Nashville twang, "Johnny A" along with bandmates, Ron Stewart on drums and Jesse Bastos on electric bass played a two hour show which included covers of Hendrix, the Beatles and Stones along with original works.  Space is an intimate, wide open and comfortable room, housed in the rear of "Union" along Chicago Avenue just off of Dempster.  Photo by Glenn Kaupert. © Glenn Kaupert, 2010.
