Dedicated to Nick

I shot a video of actors in a haunted house for my living city. The whole process was rather tricky. Shooting video/stills in a dark hallways with a strobe light and constant screams got to me after awhile. The first photo ran in the paper and the other two are just off moments of "J Bone" waiting to scare visitors of Phantasmagoria.

Chinatown

Quite the weekend.  Went to Chicago with Jason and his housemates.  Stayed in the ever so lovely condo on the 51st before shooting the football game in Evanston.  I probably ate a disgusting amount of authentic Chinese food too.  And was almost part of the Taiwan Independence Day Parade in Chinatown.  I would have ridden on a float with Jason's parents and thrown candy out like royalty to people below.  However, made the responsible choice, and opted to not be late to the game.  I took this photo from atop the float before leaving.

I was allowed to take photos backstage at the Wharton Center during the College of Music Collage Concert.  The whole atmosphere was like a dream.  Musicians in fancy clothes bustled in and out between acts.  The room was dimly lit and I was in the midst of impromptu practices/personal concerts as I photographed.  I really liked this student's bow tie and the way he held his cello.

I shot the Out of Darkness Community Walk to promote suicide prevention and awareness. Found a rather adorable moment despite the nature of the walk.  Jennifer Whipple kisses her grandson, Evan Knechtgs, 2, goodbye after the walk held Sunday morning at Potter Park Zoo in Lansing.
