While browsing through the vaults here at the studio, I came across this picture (above) I shot in Rogers Park in the mid 1980s. I hadn’t printed this shot before (I had just made a contact sheet), and just now am noticing that this was a prequel to a photograph I took a few years later, Greetings From Uptown (below; some of you might be familiar with this picture but I don’t think I’ve posted it here on the blog). What can I say–I have a way with kids.
I photographed Jason Polan in New York a few weeks ago, and it looks like he drew me as well. He’s on a mission to draw every person in New York; he also once drew all the people in People.
Shot with a phone from a moving automobile, but kept my eyes on the road, which led to a composition I wouldn’t normally have made, but I like it.

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.
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?
