I like the idea of that shot, but nothing is in focus.

These are from Saturday when they turned the Chicago River green and did the St. Paddy's parade (which I missed because I didn't make it out of the bar I was in on time, oops).

yup. you can see the sign says ft lauderdale under ynot

naw tpbm dealt with Snowpocalypse 2k11

Finally getting around to posting stuff from Snowpocalypse 2k11 in Chicago.

way into this shot

messing around in the library between classes self portrait of sorts, looking down on wells st. from the 3rd floor creepin

i saw wu tang in 07 and cro mags at this is hardcore in august. i completely agree with this statement.

this album never gets old

nope, but there are members in a band called ON. also has former members of champion, go it alone, and blue monday. if you were into any of those bands, especially blue monday and champion, you'll probably dig this record (which is actually a re-release of 2 ep's as an lp). and i've been listening to this ep a lot over the last 2 weeks.

way into the composition and texture of this one

if that was in reference to the print that omg sent me, it's digital. if you're talking about film, i completely agree.

just showed up today! your's will be in the mail sometime after next week once all my finals are done.

This is one of my final projects, this one is much less conceptual than my other class. But, whatever I like the way they turned out.

JB all four of those are great, but I really like the glass of milk. I like the shallow depth of field and reflection in the spillage.

really into the first one

Final projects have been stressing me the fuck out. I've been editing all day, except for when i was in class. So I decided to take a break from school stuff and do a little personal stuff. We took a field trip in my PHO121 class to Hedrich Blessing today and got to do some stuff in their studio. http://www.hedrichblessing.com Jon Miller, one of the partners at the firm. http://www.hedrichblessing.com/jonvision1.html The product we were setting up the shot for.

Started snowing today. It's a lot easier to get into the "Holiday Spirit" when it's not 75 degrees in December. Union Station with a 24mm Tilt Shift.

this soundtrack had me crackin up

a bones brigade documentary is in the works. preliminary meeting photo. http://plixi.com/p/59993335 it would be nuts to just happen to be eating lunch at that joint today and see that table.

I can't stop listening to the All Pigs Must Die ep

OMG: I think you posted a lot of really strong images. To be honest, I like all of them other than the last. It seems slightly out of focus, and I think it would have been framed better without the little bit of the trash can in the bottom right corner. That being said, the firefighter picture is a great editorial type shot, as is the little kid holding the peace sign. The silhouetting of those boats is great. You achieved great tonal range and texture on both the vehicle with the cracked window and the wheelchair. Did you use an off camera flash or any sort of lighting for the wheelchair? Overall, I think it is a strong and varied showing of your work. And I can tell that your main style is everyday things that you see that you're able to frame and compose very well. MN1: I've obviously become very familiar with both your work and your style of shooting through the course of this semester. I'm happy that I've only seen two of the photos that you posted before. I really like the cubs buttons photo. I like the fairly shallow depth of field and the leading lines of the lanyard. I like the quinceanera, I'm assuming that's what it's from, photo a whole lot. The sky looks very foreboding, and the combination of the large cross and her dress add a very ominous feel to it. I like the motorcycle, but I wish that he wasn't directly in the center of the image. I know that it was just something you were able to snap off from the sidewalk, but I'm just saying. The picture of the L has real good balance and use of negative space in the sky. I like the rhythm of the brown roof/black roof/brown roof/black roof, and I immediately think of the North/Northwest side (am I correct about that?). Overall a great showing, I know how busy you are so putting ten cohesive images together was a bit of a stretch. I kind of wish you had a couple more of your candid stuff, because you have a lot of really solid images in that style, especially the one of the face partially covered by the composition notebook.

so, did anyone else know that cardiel is a fixie enthusiast? thinking this might be old news, but i just saw an advert for chrome bags with him in it. couldn't find that ad online, but here's some proof.

really really diggin the peeling brown/green paint cracked window joint OhMyGosh. Print trade?

waffle, i appreciate it. i miss being able to get in the dark room so fucking bad.
