Foggy Thursday

Chicago, IL

When you're out photographing in the city and a fog rolls in, that is fortuitous.  One of my last shots with this camera before I sold it to help fund the unplanned purchase of a new camera a few hours later.

52Frames - Week 16 - Portrait Of A Stranger

Along Lake Michigan

Chicago, IL

A fortuitous encounter with a willing stranger; I asked and he agreed.  Turns out Santino is a model, photographer, cinematographer, dancer and a few other creative endeavors that I cannot recall.  Here, he's executing his Michael Jackson move.
