I recently posted a still photo I shot from the Thriller Zombie Walk held in Wicker Park last weekend. Here’s a short film (work in progress) on the event. Thanks to The Goblins for the soundtrack music, and thanks to Martin and Lindsay (the Zombie Walk organizers) and all of the spectacular, gorgeous zombies.

Funny you’d ask that. Lance and Elizabeth live in my neighborhood, where they often take walks–their route going right past my studio storefront, where they’ve been known to stop and look at the photographs I have displayed there. So Lance asked me to photograph him with wedding ring and proposal note, and I hung a large print of it in the storefront window, along with the other photographs that are normally there.

On Tuesday, June 3rd, they took a walk, stopped at the window, and Elizabeth said yes. Congrats dudes!

Here’s the proposal photograph:

And here is Lance with his fiancée, Elizabeth:
