Visit to Chicago...

Music | New Genious by Gorillaz

10 days in Chicago, 5 jobs, personal business, new friends, new networks... This was one of the most fruitful visits back to my home town since I left over 10 years ago.

Anyone that knows me knows I'm always looking for great eats and my mission was accomplished by actually finding a new king for deep dish pizza. I also found my favorite soul food restaurant as well as visiting many of my old favorites! Food and Photography...

My shoots for Photo Privé went very well. My subjects, both extremely nervous before the shoot settled into their sessions in different ways. One used up our entire time to get to her comfort zone while the other literally man handled her way to get to hers. The most nervous of the 2, she just decided she was going to do it and came out on fire! I'm extremely proud of both of them as they managed to achieve something most recently was thought to as an impossible feat. They faced their fears and decided to go for it.

As I shoot more for Photo Privé, I do get a more meaningful understanding of what some of the women go thru when deciding to make the "dive". You women are very courageous and you have earned huge R E S P E C T !
