Alyssa Turns 21...

Friday, Alyssa turned 21 years old. What a day...lol. It started at 12:00 on the dot that morning at the 5AVE 5IVE, and ended that night at Binihana. We had a blast.Good food, Great times, what more could you ask for. The dinner was of cousre for Alyssa at the place she picked. I brought my camera ( along with my 18-55mm) just to take some nice pics of the birthday girl. What I got was that and more. The nice ambient lighting of the restaurant made for some really cool effects on the photos. Anyways, congrats and God Bless to Alyssa for making it through another year.

It Feels Good To Be Back.

What else can I say? I am finally back on the Hill, and it feels great. I made it just in time to get to the Freshman pep rally. These freshman are gonna be ready for the school year for real. I didn't bring my telephoto, but my handy dandy 18-55mm did just fine. Enjoy...

Twin Trip

The twins called me, and asked me to ride down to SIUE with them and I thought it would be a pretty nice day long getaway, so I said yes. I'm pretty glad I did. Sometimes living in suburban Chicago can make you forget that the rest of the state is truly part of the heartland of America. Beautiful rolling hills, cornfields, clear skies, cornfields, pretty red barns, cornfields, nice rural diners, and who can forget the cornfields? Anyway, I knew I had to bring my camera along. Here's a sample of the fun, Leave comments!

27 Years and Counting

Recently, My parents celebrated their 27th anniversary. This is the first time I've been home for their anniversary in years. I had happened upon an album of their wedding pictures, and I thought that it would be interesting to do a shoot using some of the same poses from their wedding day, mixed with some new ones as they have "matured" a bit.
