Rodan

Met up with Justin, post-work, for a few drinks at Rodan. Before leaving work, Ben and I swapped cameras. He was looking to take some higher-res photos, and so we traded. This shot I took right when I arrived at Rodan. I messed around a bit, snapping a few photos here and there before anyone…

Each February teaches us that redmeans love, despite the world’s requestto stop, to see our anger like a film, to hearan ambulance’s shrill and vacant wail. Democritus believed the world composedof atoms, tiny specks defining pleasureand unpleasantness. The…

For those who don’t know, twospace is actually Kent and Christine, two fabulously talented friends of mine who are clothing/jewelry designers. When I first came across the redesign, I said to myself…

Hello Gapers Block!

Got the nod from Gapers Block today, a Chicago-centric, group-edited blog that I visit daily. In fact, I’ve even had one or two photographs make their way to the site. The blurb that got written about the project was simply amazing. But you know what really made my day? Check a few entries down, below…

Happy (early) birthday, Mike!

Mike’s birthday isn’t until later on this month, but due to scheduling… we decided to have the celebratory lunch a bit early. Tricia was in from NY and Deb was in town, so we held the event a little early. We showed up at Portillo’s to find noisemakers and party hats, waiting for us. We…
