Added a bunch of images to the website!
The trip to Europe.

Some earlier experiments with UV lighting that could definitely use your feedback. These won’t be up for very long, so take a gander while you can!

Photo Project: Gender Relationships

Monday, September 24th, 2007

I’m working on a new photography project. I’ve just started working out the details, but wanted to feel out people for interest before committing a lot of work on it.
I’m looking for (Chicago-local) couples, or other pairs of people. Ideally, I’d like to find 2 men and 2 women to work with on a semi-regular [...]

ThinkGeek :: Pirate vs Ninja Batteries

Digital Studio: The Social World, Artvertising

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Chase Jarvis Blog: Photography Laptop Case aka Pimp Your Laptop Case is a quick video on creating a pro-quality, customized laptop case for your on-location shoots. The entire assembly, minus hardware, probably costs about $300 dollars.

Chicago Artists Resource

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Podcasting goodness from CAR, forwarded to me a while ago. This is a fairly clunky copy/paste from the email, which contained many broken links. Hopefully, I’ve managed to successfully edit those dead links out without any html errors.
