Couple days ago I covered the Fight for 15 demonstrations in Chicago, where hundreds of fast food and retail workers went on strike at 30 stores in the Loop and the Magnificent Mile to demand $15 an hour and the right to form a union without retaliation.
Some highlights below.

Just got back to Chicago from NYC, where I was working on a piece about the Red Hook Crit bicycle race. Have a much larger edit to get through, with an eye to doing a short photo-zine about it. Was able to shoot both a lot of the prep the day previous to the race with David Trimble and the other organizers. A couple of quick selects below.

Went back by the Supreme Court again today to cover some of the DOMA protests. Have been running around having meetings since then, but will get additional stills up tomorrow while I’m on my way to New York.

I recently shot some portrait’s for my friend Erica Schwanke, who just re-located to San Francisco from Chicago to start Heart of Gold DJs with my former roommate Allison Peck. Erica was back in town for a couple days, so over coffee we made a few pictures.
If you’re in SF and need your event DJ’d I couldn’t say nicer things about these girls.

My old friend Jason Molina, of Songs:OHIO and Magnolia Electric Company fame, passed away Saturday night. Just found out this morning. Been digging through old prints from the late 90′s and early 2000′s when I used to photo him at shows in Indiana.
A huge loss and sad.

So back in August of 2012 I took three days off of the campaign to come home and help throw the 2012 Cycle Messenger World Championship, here in Chicago. I had been one of the organizers of the 2008 North American Cycle Courier Championships and had been a part of the organization committee for the 2012 CMWC.
Over those three days, when I had a moment of down-time from running registration and the merch booth, I went out and made photos. I just finished editing and collecting them into a photo-zine, published by print on demand publisher Blurb, and it just dropped today.
This is the first time photos of mine have been collected like this, and it’s the first post-campaign project I’ve worked on.
60-pages, full color, magazine style.
