The Differents At the Abbey Pub





This past Friday night I when out to see my friend Lou's band the Differents at the Abbey Pub. They hadn't played a show in 5 years. I hadn't really photographed at a show in awhile, I'm glad a did this time because I made probably one of my new favorite concert photographs(The first photograph of the set). I certainly hope the Differents do more shows, if you ever have a chance do yourself a favor and go and check them out. They play Rock n Roll that way its meant to be played! The next 4 photographs are from the show with my Leica M2 50mm lens, and Ilford Delta 3200 @ 1600

The Cook


The last 5 images including this one are part of an on going series of portraits that I have been working on. These latest images were taken of an old friend who now works in a small "grease joint" in my hometown Wilmette, IL. I'm interested in photographing people in their work environment because its where people, like it of not spend a lot of their time. Time spent at work sometimes 10+ hours a day in their environment almost becoming religious in a way. The work place turns into pretty much a second home.
