Website Woes

I'm not a happy camper at the moment.

A former colleague of mine took the liberty of purchasing my domain name for me. It was really a kind gesture. At the time, I was unaware of the fact that the domain ownership would expire. Actually, I was unaware of that fact until just a few weeks ago. As it turns out, I cannot actually purchase my domain name without having an authorization code that this person created, and so therefore, I may have to forfeit amyaiellophotography.com and start over.

:(

Here's hoping I can track the code down!

Abra Moore

I was fortunate enough to be asked to take some photos of an interview session for the Chicago Music Guide this morning. Abra Moore was the subject of this morning's interview.

I didn't know what to expect upon meeting her, to be honest. She ended up being extremely sweet, insightful, genuine and down-to-earth. Her story, what I heard of it, was really a great one to hear. I asked her how she got her break, who discovered her, what it has been like for her over the years...

But really, to hear more of the interview, stay tuned to the Chicago Music Guide. Dennis Kelly asked some really great questions. The interview should be up within the week!

New Opportunities

An old friend of mine from high school got in touch with me recently. To sum things up very briefly, it is because of this friend that a new opportunity has come my way - I will be shooting pictures for the Metromix section of the Chicago Tribune!!! The work, I'm guessing, will be sporadic, but I'm still thrilled about the opportunity, nevertheless!
