Meet Jimmy Coston

A documentation for

A Documentary

_______________

I was contacted by Nick Coston to help him photograph and shoot a documentary film that he is making on his uncle, James Coston. James was an immigrant turned film industry pioneer in Chicago. Through this documentary, Nick will be telling of his uncle's life, as well as revealing some secrets that it seems the family doesn't yet know...

For more information and a sneak peak at Nick's film, check out the website at http://www.meetjimmycoston.com/

Here are some of the images from James' last place of residence in Chicago, along with its current owner (who is completely gutting the place). Check back early next year for the results from the remodeling!

Also in this blog, you'll see photos of a historian who has been helping Nick gather information for this documentary, as well as Nick's brother (also named James).
