On December 12th, 2009 celebrity photographer, Jeremy Cowart called upon all photographers across the world to give back and take photos for the sake of giving back to the community. With the help of Dawn Hancock and her Reason To Give program, we shot family portraits for the Humbolt Park community. We had an overwhelming response from the families who wanted to participate. I enlisted the help of my friend and fellow photographer, Brendan Shanley to come and shoot with me. It was a great day and we had a great team to make it all happen. Special thanks goes out to Shannon Medic for keeping everything so organized and of course to EP Theater for lending us the space for the day. Check out the video from our day!

Kilo Records latest artist, Stephen Paul Smoker is over at the ISR studio turning into an Oompa Loompa for his album cover shoot. Look out for his Dream Pop record, Violent Sun / Violent Fun coming in April.

What do you get when you add 17 pairs of hands, 2 pistols, a Great Dane and a lot of destruction? You get an Ornery video/photo shoot. For the past 8 days, a team of super talented artists got together to shoot a video for Chicago's new rock sensation, Ornery Little Darlings. Here's a couple bts shots from the craziness. On Feb,1 we'll be launching the music video along side the photos from this sweet project. Lets get Ornery! Bang Bang!
