Randomness

Having a 16gig memory card means I have a lot of old photos I have yet to look over.
Here you go.

Warrior

Here are some old photos from Halloween. The warrior made an appearance.



Graffiti

Here is some graffiti I found around campus. This is from an assignment I shot a couple months ago, but they were never used.



Football Vs. Ohio State

Illinois lost 30-20. I don't know if I will be going to another Bowl game this season. Also read: it was cold.

Also see the chief video I helped Erica shoot on Saturday.

Girl Talk

@ The Canopy Club. Got off the train from Chicago and immediately had this to cover for the DI. (Last Wednesday, Nov. 5)

Obama Night

Here are some photos from the evening of the Election. Intense is all I have to say. Many people were every, moving towards Grant Park. Lines wrapping around park to get into the ticketed side of the Rally waited for hours to get in. People on loudspeakers were everywhere, trying to be heard, shouting there messages to anyone that would listen. Bikes were piled on top of each other on fences they could be chained to. Traffic was close to non existent as people on foot blocked thoroughfares.

I looked for iconic photos to shoot, I looked for peoples expressions, and I looked for details to describe the event, but eventually became overwhelmed by everything. I listened for a while to the speeches of McCain and Obama and then look for some more photos. Here are a few of the frames I got that night.

The day overall was great. Great weather, great photos, and great people. I got some of my photos picked up on the AP wire and have found them in online galleries in Reno, Honolulu, and Indianapolis.

I wanna be your dog

I stayed with Nick and Jason in Chicago. Jason was at class most the day, but Nick's were mostly canceled, so he hung out with me during the day while I wandered around the city for feeches. I got some of him and some other stuff that looked cool.
