River Grove Picnic

3 weeks after heart surgery and I am trying to get back in the swing of things. Today was the annual RGFD picnic. Because of the day and families not everyone was there at the same time. I grabbed some shots because I could. 

This one of the best damn bunch of guys you could work with. 

Woz and miniwoz

Karen and I went to Arlington Heights today for her hair cut. I decided to do some street photography and grabbed a few shots.

Is this the demise of NewPapers? 

Just cause it was cool

Jessie's Birthday

We went to the batting cages today and had a great time.   These photos and video were done with me p7100 and not my DSLR. It does pretty good for video. I do need to get a shotgun mic however. It would also help if I could edit a tad bit better. 

Finally 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE

Grace, Professionalism and Awe

Please look at this photograph. It is a montage of portraits done for CNN about the photographers that were fired from the Suntimes. Each of these professionals are masters at their craft. I had the opportunity with my son to attend a showing of the work of these folks. I could look at their work all day. Some people I know personally, some I know from their body of work. What impressed me was the the work, the dedication and the love of what they do. Photographers both working and retired attended. Names that I had seen bylines for but was finally able to put a name with a face. 

Here are the rest of the photos I took today. Know I took them for no other reason then love and respect of these people and hope in some way I could learn from just being in the room. 

Here are the rest of the photos I shot I hope I did these professionals justice.

Little Rock Fox Fire District car fire

While getting lost in Kendall county heard a tone out came over the radio for a car fire in Plano. Well actually remembering to take my camera I had no clue where the fire was. The a sound a red light and the fire chief came by and poof I was on the scene.
Got there as he pulled up.
