Bingo Blues

Shot a little afternoon bingo today.

I rented a lens for my shoot on Monday and took it out with me over the weekend for a couple of assignments to test it out. I don’t really want to give it back at the end of the week. I also want to sell all my zooms and only shoot primes.
Here’s a gallery for more and the story about what I was shooting.

I spent yesterday on assignment for a new client shadowing someone to get a-day-in-the-life art for an upcoming feature. One of our stops was for groceries at La Mexicana in East Chicago, Indiana.

How I spent my Sunday morning: incredibly under-dressed in a church waiting on Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

I’m making good on something I said last year. I recently got back in touch with Ed Samaan, the teenage bodybuilder I met last May while on assignment for a feature about his state bodybuilding title. He’s put on nearly 60 pounds since I last saw him, and I’m going to check in with him periodically to document his journey as he hardens up, then cuts about 50 pounds as he preps for this year’s national competitions. This is from Day One of the project.

Eli may look like a tough guy, but after his initial curiosity when I snapped these, he turned and ran every time I brought my camera to my face and pointed it in his direction.

Mixed feelings this morning with my first Chicago Sun-Times cover. It’s not easy to point a camera at people who are in pain and grieving, but I hope my images helped illustrate how loved Shaun was and what the community has lost with a senseless act of violence.

A second grade teacher was stabbed to death late last night in a bar when he tried coming to the aid of his friend and breaking up the fight. Tonight, his friends and family gathered for a memorial service to mourn and remember their friend. I’ve been covering it all day.
