Been a while since I’ve been on here. Things have been well. It’s cold in Chicago. But I’ve been into charcoal sketches lately. Here’s my most recent. Cheers!

250,000 Chicagoans can’t be wrong. Forever proud of my city for showing up to #NoKings #liberal #chicago

What a great way to see the city… and be on the right side of history. #nokings #chicago

Well, I am shocked to say I found a near perfect Wes Anderson crossover with The Shining. The Grand Hotel in Mackinac certainly showed out and showed off. #green #wesanderson #theshining #architecture #photography #redrum

A little what’s in front of the camera and little who’s behind it. Loving the season change. Loving Michigan. Maybe this city fella gets out and into the country for good.

Mackinac Island, MI - I was expecting it to be quaint and beautiful. It’s kind of hectic and beautiful. Old energy here definitely makes it feel eyes are on you while eyes are on the scenery. What a great way to kick off October. #spooky #photography #michigan #mackinac

Stranger on a chilly train. Captured this one subtly while the fella next to me was engrossed in his book. Cheers from Chicago!

Tunnels under LSD. Best way to get to Chicago’s beautiful lakefront is to go under Lake Shore Drive via these dingy tunnels. I love them personally. #filmphotography #film #kodak #blackandwhite #photography #chicago #urban #bw #city #streetphotography

Let’s take a poll - which is better: color or black and white?

You know it! Still working on at-home developing so this is done by a lab in the city. I take the processed film and scan at home which gives a partial feeling of being a scientist in a lab. Glad you enjoy these!

Drowning out the world. Summer’s come to an end and all I have to show are voyeuristic photos around Chicago’s Lake Michigan.

Back with a new roll of film recently developed. Love this shot I took at Fullerton Beach in Chicago. The last days of summer are here.

…and then he got adopted. First time fostering is in the books. Exhausting work but the dividends are photos like this. #puppiesofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #cuteness #adorable

Well, I did it. I wrote, shot, edited, and produced a masterclass spaghetti western. Behold, “Cowboy the Puppy” a film about the long day’s on the range searching for hidden bones and roughing up rabble rousers. #puppy #dogsofbluesky #Chihuahua #terrier #cuteness #adorable

Looking back on photos from Europe I took earlier this year. I think this is top three for me. Just two Parisians doing what Parisians do best: smoking on a patio and drinking wine. Cheers fellas.

Took my mind off photography and writing for a spell. The result was a gin-fueled charcoal sketch. It’s fun to erase shadows in. #charcoal #art #puppies

Antidote* need coffee

Anecdote in The Heights, it’s definitely worth a trip (if it’s cool enough outside)

A little pop of color for the feed. Houston, TX has a coffee shop patio culture that rivals no where else in the country. Love the colors in this tucked away garden. #photography #htx #lumina #colors #coffee

I’m all for a blank slate pizza box to doodle crazy shit on. Pizza places need to make this a regular thing. #scribble #doodle #manic

For Chicagoans, you’ve likely passed this abandoned building in the loop when in the area. It was built in the 19th century as a “high rise” office building right at the center of the fastest growing city at the turn of the 19th century. It’s beautiful. #film #urbanphotography #photography #art

Chicago, looking east down Grand Street. I love this block. It is much less polished than any surrounding areas, but rooted in rich history, good bars, and infamous culture. #filmphotography #photography #urbanphotography #minolta #art #citylife

Any love for an ugly chicago alleyway? Something about the litter, faded red paint, and the way the building’s edges lead your eye deeper down just caught me. #streetphotography #urbanphotography #filmphotography

Last picture of Vegas and I can leave it in the memories. El Cortez was a refuge in the desert during my degenerate days. A shithole of last resorts. Since been redeveloped on the inside to unrecognizable levels. However, the outside remains preserved in forever cool. #gambling #photography #art

Scenes from Vegas: a freshly married bride and, assumingely, the groom’s best man dispute the nickel and dime fees this greedy hotel has tacked on to their big day.

Never thought a book I was reading could be so accurately titled. Every day I woke up in Vegas, I told myself this. It’s a mantra.

The view from where I wanted to jump after Blackjack robbed me. #vegas #photography #neon #gambling

Escaping Chicago for a minute, I caught this beautifully balanced shot while sitting as passenger princess. #minolta #filmphotgraphy #photography #biker #art #travel #roadtrip
