Yeah!
We got more coming. So, for those of you that do not find baby photos amusing please bear with me.

I am creating some new pictures while hanging out with my daughter. She is in the middle of two and three months old and I don't even get to pose her because her personality beats me to the punch, once again making me the observer.

No. 106

I designed this Birth Announcement post card for our baby Valentina!

I had fun making the picture weathered and printed it on matte paper for the full effect. I also asked the printer to round the corners of the final 4x6's.

This my friends is Wigglyville, a dog park in Chicago that I recently visited while on assignment.

No. 90

This teen crosses the street to catch a bus to deliver the afternoon publication after school let out and her route is a hike in the Chicago cold. The papers, they've been packed with inserts and bound in a fast hurry in the basement of a newspaper company.

No. 87

Waiting for the Blue Line at Grand in Chicago after realizing that I went three stops too far only to turn and see a woman waiting for the same train sitting in a chair, just an unusual moment. Afterward, I thought I should have moved to the right and recorded her face in the vignette. Somehow I still like the anonymity of the two images.

No. 81

Urban fly fishing along Lake Michigan with Andy. This image appeared in the Mens Book recently. The MB is an edition of the Chicago Social magazine.
