Pocket Garden

Some good news and bad news.

Which do you want first? Okay, fine…

Good news: The weather was perfect last weekend for the Old Town Art Fair in Chicago. I had a beautiful corner spot in a charming neighborhood, the sun was shining and the crowds were enormous.

Bad news: Because of the aforementioned crowds I didn’t have time to see much of the garden tour that I told you about last week. As is often the case at a really busy show, I was only able to see what was in the route between my booth and the bathroom. Luckily that did include one lovely little garden that I can share with you.

Not an Architectural Photographer…

May 30, 2014 by Chris | 0 Comments

Last week I made it pretty clear the I am not a wedding photographer – this week I provide evidence that neither am I an architectural photographer. Although the Bloch Building by Steven Holl at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art makes it pretty damn hard not to be… How lucky are we in Kansas City to have this masterpiece?
