Avanti Tutta!

As if it wasn't obvious by looking through my photographs, I'm a sucker for an overcast day. For this photograph, I was able to combine the beautiful light of a cloudy morning with the motion of a scooter as it zipped down North Ave. in Chicago.

I couldn't help but be excited by the fact that the orange color was the perfect foil for the soft light and the charcoal-ly pavement.

Somewhere Outside DeKalb

Recently, I had the opportunity to get in the car and just drive wherever the winds blew me. On this particular day, I ended up in DeKalb, IL. I drove around the town for a while, then headed away into the fields and on the two lane divided highways. If I saw something interesting, I stopped the car and explored with my camera. For this photo, I pulled over at a crossroads and just started shooting as storm clouds gathered overhead. The feeling of losing oneself in the wandering--and in the camera--is a truly liberating experience.

Fun Behind the Window

My wife and I spent a fabulously relaxing afternoon walking around the town of Frankfort, IL. We strolled, we walked through wooded paths, we popped into boutiques, and, of course, I made some photos.

As soon as I saw this scene, I just knew it would be one of the keepers of the day.
