Lala may be the greatest thing on the World Wide Interhighway, ever. The below photo was taken at a horse race, which has nothing to do with it.

Pleasant Enough All the Same--The Finale
Good People of Chicago, if you are in and around the area of the Museum of Contemporary Art tomorrow, March 17, please stop in to have a final look at the Wild Duck portrait installation. I'll be at the museum from 2 until 8PM giving away the photos to whomever would like one, so please come on by! Also, if you happen to be featured in one of the portraits and would like a print but can't make it down, please contact me and I'll be sure to get you a copy.
Walking and Thawing
This past weekend in Chicago was the first one in Some Time in which you could be outside for an extended period and not feel like you had to mainline coffee just to stay warm. The sunny conditions and warm-ish temperatures provided the perfect conditions for walking around and snapping shots of a city that is just about ready to wake up and look alive again. These photos were taken around and near one of my favorite spots, Montrose Harbor.
It won't be long before foliage fills the trees, boats inhabit the harbor, and the heat and humidity will be so terrible that one feels that they must mainline High Lifes just to stay cool.

Pleasant Enough All the Same, February 15, 2009
Last night was the closing performance of the Court Theatre's production of Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck. As was with every performance during the play's month-long run, the crowd was fantastic, and many of the patrons were gracious enough to allow me make a portrait of them for the installation.
Below is a shot of Art Shay, whom I had the opportunity to meet and talk with for a few minutes. I can't express enough how much I admire his work, and will follow his advice to 'just keep shooting' as if it were scripture.
And this is how the completed installation looks, 270 images strong. It'll be on display until March 17th, at which point the images will be available for free for whomever would like to claim one.
As ever, the completed set can viewed here. Yes, I know the numbering is off. Don't judge me.
And finally, thanks to Gapers Block, for featuring the project on their web site and not editing out the line referring to Dick Van Dyke.

Hot damn.
One more day to go, nine more photos to shoot and hang, and the whole shebang will come to an end. Peep the Progress over here, as tomorrow the installation shall be COMPLETED.

Here's a few shots from Friday night at the MCA. This being the final weekend of The Wild Duck in the Court Theatre means it is also the final weekend for the portrait project. Still, after all these sessions there's always, always, an abundance of interesting folks to photograph. Check them all out right this way.
