A Sneak Peak

(Aerial Ice Formations - Series Finale!)

February 25, 2009

__________________

Yesterday, I completed shooting a series that I started three years ago! I am hoping to host an actual gallery event with prints of the final images I've collected in this time, but am unsure of the date or location for such an event.

For now, however, here's another peak at some of this year's ice formations on Lake Michigan:

The Ladder

Album Release

________________

Hi everyone. I am so proud of my friend Andrew Belle with a fantastic first couple of days of the release of his latest album, The Ladder. I've had the album for a couple of months now (there was a sneak preview event in Chicago that I attended and photographed), and absolutely LOVE it!

So... check it out on Itunes, and help support this talented guy as his album continues to climb to the top of the charts!:

Niki
A Day of Fun in the Music Studios

________________

I met Niki a bit more than a year ago when she and her now husband, Phil, asked me to be their wedding photographer. Since that time, Niki has kept in touch with me, and asked me if I would take some time out to do a photo shoot with her.

How could I resist?

She had her family friends, Patti and Alicia, come out for the day to help me with Niki's fashion, makeup and hair styling (among other things - thanks for the wine, fruit, and chips & salsa ladies!). The four of us laughed a lot, and HOPEFULLY helped this beautiful girl realize how lovely she is.

See you soon, Niki!!!

P.S. SAVE THE CHICKENS!!!

Carole
An Experiment In Modeling

Let me just start off by saying that Carole is more than just a gorgeous person on the outside - she's sweet, hilarious, gracious, smart, and incredibly down to earth. We had a blast shooting some pictures yesterday, and are trying to get Carole started in the modeling world.

Can you believe this is only the first shoot she's ever done?

You rock, girl!

Steve & Marlene
Save the Date Session
February 13, 2010
_______________

I knew Steve from back in high school (I'm starting to feel old, as this year marks 10 years since graduating!), and when he asked me to photograph his wedding, I was quite honored. I KNOW it's going to be a fun day!

Steve and his lovely fiance, Marlene, dropped by Saturday to take a few quick photos for their save the date cards. We'll be doing a more in-depth engagement session as soon as the weather warms up, but for now, here's what we got!

Alexander Djordjevic and Brenda Huang
Pianoforte Chicago
Saturday, January 30, 2010
_______________________

A couple of weekends ago, my piano teacher, Alexander Djordjevic, played a four hand piano piece with pianist Brenda Huang in Chicago for the Pianoforte Foundation. Combined with the setting, acoustics, and appreciative audience, these two beautifully performed Schubert's Divertimento for 4 hands in G Minor, Op. 54, D. 818, "À l'hongroise." It was truly a treat, as always, to get to hear Alex perform, and even more so alongside such a talented performer as Ms. Huang.

If you missed out on the Pianoforte performance, PLEASE come show your support on Sunday, February 28th. Alex will be performing at Steinway of Chicago in Downer's Grove, IL at 3pm. His performance is scheduled to include:

Für Alina by Arvo Pärt

Metamorphosis Two, by Philip Glass

Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23, by Frederic Chopin

Sonata in F minor, Op. 57 "Appassionata", by Ludwig van Beethoven

Twelve Etudes, Op. 10 (complete), by Frederic Chopin

And so... without further ado, here are some photos from the Pianoforte performance. Thanks again, Alex, for the wonderful and priceless gift of music you continue to give.
