Guiding The Light
Fullerton Beach, Chicago, IL
Recently I received a rather nondescript piece of mail. What appeared to be another piece of junk mail was actually a check from Fine Art America, for a photograph that I had apparently sold! Someone had bought a 30x20 metal print of a long exposure shot taken at this very same spot. Up to that point, I had completely neglected my Fine Art America page.
Here is the link to the photograph in question.
Rising To The Occasion
Navy Pier, Chicago, IL.
Taken above the parking lot. I was not certain if it was open that early in the morning, but I overcame the fear of getting caught as I did not want to lose the opportunity to shoot the Chicago skyline from the Pier.

As A New Day Welcomes Us
Taken during one of my final weekends in Chicago.
To my surprise, I’m not feeling totally devastated about no longer living in an urban area. So far I’m enjoying the outdoors and exploring my new surroundings. It can be pretty inconvenient though, as we drove close to an hour today to get to the nearest Trader Joe’s.

The Temple
The Medinah Temple is one of the most intricately beautiful buildings in the River North area of downtown Chicago. It was beautifully restored when it became occupied by the Bloomingdale’s Home and Furniture store. Even if you are not into shopping, just checking out the indoor architecture - including the stained glass windows - is totally worth it.

League of Giants
I was not fully satisfied with my initial shots of the Aqua Tower, so I was glad to have the opportunity to retake them again a few days later.

Looking Upon Us
Every time I go on one of the Chicago River boat tours, I am always left in awe by all the amazing architecture. The towering man-made structures rising from both sides of the River, each with its own rich history. It is one of the reasons why I love this city so much.

Urban Silhouette
A powerful thunderstorm hit us late Saturday afternoon. Because of it, we had to change our plans a bit, and go somewhere indoors instead of walking outside.
One thing I know is that sunsets right after a thunderstorm are usually very colorful and pretty. I almost did not take this photo, as I was debating whether to make the extra stop on the way home. I sure am glad that I did though.

My photography style & vision were fostered while I traveled the world as an adolescent. Living and experiencing a multitude of cultures opened my eyes, instilling within me a deep sense of respect for others along with an appreciation of their beliefs. At the same time, being constantly on the move sometimes made me wish I could just hit the magical pause button.
The common underlying theme that I try to convey in my images is a sense of solitude and calmness. We might lead hectic and fast-paced lifestyles, but if we sit back and pause for a moment, we just might be able to enjoy the world all to ourselves.
The kinds of pictures I enjoy taking include food, floral and night photography.
I currently live in the suburbs of Chicago, along with my wife and young son. Besides photography, I enjoy all things culinary and spending time with my family.
