Drop That Giant Brat

On Friday, in the heart of downtown Chicago, they had this 2 story weber grill and this a rendition of a Johnsonville brat. At the specified time it was dropped slowly onto this grill while the crowd chanted “Drop that Brat”. I love this city.

I thought this was a good variation on the ice image. A good chicago skyline, but hdr style.

I finally made it to the Adler Planetarium for that picture of the city that everyone talks about. The lake wasn’t quite as icy as i hoped so i just found a pile of ice and photographed the city from behind.

Assisting Website Updated with new services

It was time to clean house and that means redoing an old websites. One of them is my elusive, rarely seen assisting website. It’s sort of off the beaten path and has a lot of frames, so its probably not being picked up by the search engines. Despite that, it has arrived with some exciting new features!

Retouching
I’ve had a demand by some clients to see some of the retouching I can do, so i added a simple section that show the progression of some of my images. It may be interesting to those who just want to see how I did it.

Rates/Services
I’ve nailed down some prices for what I do and added some descriptions. Some people like to finagle the highest rates so they don’t publish their rates, but I always tend to just go with my usual rates unless its something weird. I find that I respond well to people who post their rates because i know what to expect and feel like i’m being being treated fairly. I hope other respond the same way.

New Digital Tech/Retouching Hybrid Service
This exciting new service is something i’ve been doing for still-life and architecture photographers, but just haven't named or described it. When on a stil-life or architecture shoot, there is a need for a digital tech, but not in a conventional way. Just through experience, i’ve noticed that by combing onset retouching with duties of a digital tech at the end of each photograph, the photographer and the client save money and time.

Check out the site for more details on the service.
