Occupy Chicago

A protestor holds a sign reading "Let 1% Control 1% of our Politics" as candle lanterns are sent up into the sky in front of the Chicago skyline.

Taken at Occupy Chicago on October 22, 2011.

The MPLS Henrys

The MPLS Henrys are a Chicago rock band named after Minneapolis. They're pretty awesome and lots of fun to photograph. You can also view these on Facebook.

Taken on December 17, 2011 outside The Burlington.

Sunlit Bicycle

The way the sunlight hit this bicycle really caught my eye. So beautiful, don't you think?

Fullerton Beach at Night

The waves were crashing high against the concrete shore that evening. The weather was windy and cool.

A Stranger

(Image 3 of 3)

I was setting up this shot before the man was there. I had it perfectly composed and he just came barreling around the corner, basket on his arm, on a mission. Where was he going? The basket is empty. Going to buy some fruit or bread perhaps? Or maybe he dropped something off somewhere. He was unexpected, as are most things when one is overseas.

An Exit

This was the view outside my hotel window when I first got to France. It was kind of creepy. I love the textures medium format film can capture.

The Tombs

(Image 1 of 3)

I can almost hear the centuries passing when I look at this image. Death has been here a while.

This was one image of three that I hung at the senior photography show when I graduated from Columbia College. They were very big 3'x3' prints. Maybe even 4'. I can't remember. They're hanging on the wall in my mom's pool room at her house. The look great large. Stay posted for the other two.

Brittiney on the Rock

Another day, another photo of Brittiney. This one was taken was taken a super long time ago during a trip to the Morton Arboretum during a stormy, overcast day. It rained, there was wind, the world was wet and we explored all day long. The strange weather that day led to some cool photographs, this being my favorite. Maybe I'll share another one someday.

Spring, 2003. (I think.)

Brittiney in a Field

Apparently, it's creepy that I post so many pictures of my lovely girlfriend Alison (she is my muse after all). So instead, I give you another muse of mine, Brittiney. This photo is pretty old and taken with a Holga I believe. It's from approximately from the spring of 2007. I hope you like and realize I take pictures of other people besides just Alison. :)

Alison

Alison is beautiful when she smiles.

Mexican Hut

I made this photo with a Holga while on vacation with my family in Mexico in 2005. I absolutely love it. It's like a child's imaginary toy world or something. How do you like it?

Summer, 2005.

Alison's Necklace

This nice, soft portrait was taken in 2005 for my Fashion class at Columbia College. I love the soft feeling of it, but there's not a whole lot that's going on to keep my interest. At least the necklace is in focus. I got that one right. There's something about the feeling of this photograph that reminds me of Robert Frank's, "Elevator - Miami Beach, 1955" from The Americans. Robert Frank is incredible. If you haven't check out his work, do it now!

Bret's Eye

An old Photoshop I created. There's a lens embedded in my brother's eye. I like the feel of this photograph, though it is admittedly a little creepy. What do you think about it?
