Expert Dry Cleaning


What grabbed my attention was the woman graphic. Which I later find out after scanning the photo the woman was on a side of a pinball machine in a dry cleaners? That is a new one on me that's for sure. I like how the gray metal beams in the window break up the frame which add more interest to the image and reflection on the fence on the right ride of the window adds more dimension and depth.

MailBox


Walking down in the GoldCoast neighborhood in Chicago I saw this mailbox with flowerboxs drapped over it. Just seemed weird that someone would think to decorate a mailbox since we have this love hate relationship with the US mail at times. I guess it was someone just show some love that they cared about the US mail. Or someone's idea to beautify a street corner that otherwise was dull. Either way its pretty interesting thing. I also dig that that early evening light really adds an extra touch of elegance.

Red Light


Came acorss this image while wakling around Chicago on Sunday morning. The red light has a real soft diffused light that makes it glow and draws you right into the the image. The image has a smoky/ murky type of a feel as if I was in some old bar or restaurant. The depth of the shadows also draws you to look more into the image.

Moving Sale


A very surreal and mysterious image. A totally random image used to promote a moving sale, works for me. The one other thing that really strickes me about the image, is the gray piece I guess its wood thats hanging from the bottom of the sign, makes it seem like the bottom of the black pole is split in half and that the sidewalk continues right though the pole. It very odd and triguing image

New Maxwell Street 1


This image is part of the on going New Maxwell Street series of images. Taken early on Sunday morning oh probably 5:30 am or so. Just a wonderful light that early in the morning really helps this image. I love how the whole car is just stuffed to the brim with boxes, and box on top says it all "Precious Moments". The yellow steemers hanging from the roof of the car add a nice touch drawing your eyes to all those boxes in the car.

Arcade Fire


Shot in Vancover this past May. What drew me to this image was the that someone took the time and thought to prop up a flyer from the band Arcade Fire. The placement was interesting as well, as if they wanted to band to be guarded or preserved. I also think and deep blue tone and the little red tone on the flyer are really a nice touch.
