A couple nights ago I went out to shoot some pictures with help from emerging photographers Baptiste Enard (bottom pic) and Thomas Brandenburg (top pic). These shots were taken where Bridgeport and Chinatown meet, on Chicago’s south side.

Dan Carlson portrait 350x500 New Daniel Carlson album: Aviary Jackson

I met my good friend Daniel Carlson in a high school photography class–we bonded over a mutual snobbery for Ilford film over Kodak. He was just in town so we took press shots to promote his stellar new record Aviary Jackson. It’s available now for download, and in June you can get the CD, which features gorgeous artwork (including a 20 page booklet) by Karl Jensen.

Yesterday’s Village Voice profiles aberrant musician Weasel Walter, who just moved from Oakland, California to Brooklyn (where he’s got three gigs this month).  I took this photo for the Reader in 2002, back when he was a Chicagoan. I wish more people I photographed wore antennae

I shot publicity photos for charismatic R&B artist Marcus East last week. There was some confusion with him finding my studio–who knew there were two “Western” stops on the CTA Blue Line? If you’re dropping by my studio, (and please do–just call first) and you’re taking the el, make sure to get off at the Western stop that’s between Damen and California. Unless you’re looking forward to a long, long walk.
