Going back home to Chicago

Amtrak Waiting Room in Penn Station

While waiting for the train, this photographer was caught taking pictures of the surroundings. Taken somewhere just outside of New York City, a few minutes after the train left Penn Station. Nine days in New York was enough for me, this time around. But if I get the job that I applied for (the reason [...]


After the Giants Victory Parade

Fans taking pictures at Penn Station I was in the New York City area during the Super Bowl XLVI’s New York Giants win. As soon as the final whistle blew … I heard a lot of shouting from the different apartments in my brother’s building. It was incredible. The next day, the people on the [...]

Spectators and photographers marvelling at the various species of fish at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD. The aquarium is the city’s top tourist attraction.


Baltimore!

Baltimore-10

Photographing sea rides in Baltimore I had a chance to go to Baltimore from New York/New Jersey. My brother works in both cities, so early today, we drove to the city, just to have a look. Beautiful city. Particularly near the harbor.


First Foray into New York City

Lake Shore Limited – Amtrak train from Chicago to New York City

I am currently in New York City for a job interview with the NYC’s Department of Education on Wednesday. Since I am so poor (I have been unemployed for the past 1 1/2 years or so!), I decided to travel cheaply – by train – from Chicago to New York City. It’s a 20 hour [...]


Critical Mass Chicago Last Friday Bike Ride

Yesterday was the last Friday of the month … so the Critical Mass bike ride was on again. This time, many people were in costumes … because it is Halloween! The thousands of riders passed through the “Occupy Chicago” camp on LaSalle and Jackson in the financial district of Chicago … making the ride so [...]


Catamaran cruise

Mayan Riviera cruise-7

I shot a wedding of a friend of mine last year … in the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. They booked a sunset ocean cruise on a catamaran as part of the wedding package.


Grand Traverse Lighthouse

Lighthouse-3

The Grand Traverse Lighthouse is located at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula that separates Grand Traverse Bay from Lake Michigan up near Northport, Michigan. It was built in the 1850s.


Traverse City Lip Dub

TC Lip Dub

On a road trip to Northern Michigan, again. We were so incredibly lucky to arrive at Traverse City, Michigan during the shooting of their lip dub video that will premiere in the Traverse City Film Festival next week. They were hoping to break the world record but fell short. At anyrate, it was an incredible [...]
