Lens Cap Fail
(click photo for larger version)
I had a great time at the Mad Decent Block Party Saturday (hosted by the Hideout), shooting for the Reader‘s Photo Pit (due out Thursday). This shot of Maluca crowd surfing is really an outtake, but I noticed something funny going on in the background. There were 30 million cameras in play at any given time, so I guess it’s no surprise that this happened. Panty cannon pics forthcoming.

37 Minutes in Chinatown
I shot these pictures last night in Chinatown–the first one at 6:53, the last one at 7:30. If these were movie stills, what’s the plot?

Derek Erdman’s big art show
My good friend and, until recently, neighbor Derek Erdman has a big art show this Saturday: Without Wax: 14 Years of Derek Erdman in Chicago (RSVP to derek@nationalheadquarters.org), presented by National Headquarters. Sadly (for us Chicagoans), Erdman moves to Seattle next month.

Luxe Magazine Style Makers
I’ve been having a good time shooting portraits for Luxe magazine’s “Style Makers” section–I shot one a couple weeks ago, and the portrait above appeared in the Spring 2010 edition. These assignments are a treat for me; the section runs black and white photos, which I love to shoot, and the subjects have been fascinating people in interesting spaces. The Renaissance man pictured is architect, painter, sculptor, writer, critic, and poet Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine.
