Epic sunset at Douglas Park

Last Friday the Chicago area was treated to a sublime sunset sky. Here’s a shot (7 actually, stitched together) taken near my studio in Douglas Park. I’m reminded of something Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “I believe in God, only I spell it “Nature”.

I shot this on Monday around 7PM in Douglas Park near my studio. The light was magical. That’s my shadow in the foreground.

I went back to Taos, New Mexico last October, doing more cinematography on the film Black and Gold, directed by my friends Marco Zas and Diane Izzo. Here are some still photographs I shot.

Art Loop Open starts today, and I’m happy to have a photograph (shown below) in the competition, located at the Palmer House. Thanks to the amazingly creative people at Opera-Matic for the inspiring subject matter.

There’s some really great art in the show, so be sure to vote. First round of voting is today through Thursday, October 21st.

Momentum Mori Project

On Halloween I photographed and filmed the Momentum Mori Project’s procession along North Avenue (as part of the Haunted Paseo Boricua parade), which concluded at Humboldt Park where I shot the above picture. Here’s Mark Messing, one of the talented folks behind the project, describing it:

It’s a memorial to the cyclists who have been killed around the city. Inspired by the “Ghost Bikes”, bikes painted white at locations where cyclists have been killed, our bike procession will feature a Crossing Guard Warrior Goddess on chariot led by Ghost Horses, flanked by Ghost Riders riding white bikes and dressed in all white.

Stunning.
