http://ishootrockstars.com/ I Shoot Rockstars en-us 2010-03-10 20:51:32 http://ishootrockstars.com/blog/post/visitors I think about life statistics a lot. I wonder how many steps I have taken in my life? I wonder how many times I have damned God? I wonder how many times I have said 'I love you' and meant it? I decided to see how many people I'd meet in a year. I would take their photo when they visited me. I would ask them who they are what is one thing that they love. 9 months into the project and #216 visitors later, I am elated that over 5,000 visits have been paid to the on going flickr page. For those who have not seen or been a part of it (yet), I would like to share the gallery with you. Who knows, you may a person or two in there. Visitors Gallery!

It was a benefit show to raise money for the Kellogg Cancer Care Center at Evanston Hospital. It was a great night and a great show! Check out some more photos on our facebook page.

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!

We couldn't have done this alone as we had an amazingly talented cast of crazies help make it all happen. I'd like to thank Jeremiah Hammerling & Sean Fahey of endless eye, Jake Zalutsky of RUBBISH, Elizabeth Neish, Bethany Smoker, David Beaupre, Christopher Provyn, and the 17 pairs of hands we had donated to us by the loveliest girls in Chicago. Thank you for your support!  But...we're not done yet! Ornery Little Darlings just entered their video, "Run From The Gun" for the SXSW 'Rock The Roxy' video competition. Every view the video gets, adds to the final vote! This is where we need your support! Watch the video, share the video and most importantly, rock out like a magikist!
