What it looks like 07.12.2009
From the inside when you drop a 1 yen coin in a camera and it eats your shutter.
And yeah. That costs about $400 to fix, in case you were wondering.

I just put up prints from the TyK Bike Super Heroes Calendar for sale. I’m doing a limited run of 11×17 archival digital prints, signed and numbered (edition of 25). They’re cool.
I’m also selling one off prints from the Bicycle Film Festival Joyride show that I was a part of earlier this year. 13×19 archival digital prints. I’m making one of each at that size and that’s it.
I’ll have them up and available for about a month. I’m planning on putting up a new set of prints each month in different editions, so check back.

Time Out Chicago did a write-up on my show last friday, complete with a small photo gallery, so you can see what you missed.
Luminaire, the furniture design gallery here in Chicago, just had their 20th anniversary gala the other evening. They’re one of my favorite clients and they were nice enough to tap me to shoot the event, as well as their newly remodeled showroom. There will be a gallery up on the Luminaire site at some point I’m sure, but here are a few out-takes of some very nice furniture.

So the TyK calendar launch and gallery show was last night. Thanks to everyone who came – shockingly there were more people there I didn’t know than I knew – Mars Gallery was wall to wall packed all night long and yes, I got more than a little drunk.
I just found out that the show will running through next Saturday, so if you didn’t get a chance to stop by last night and see the prints you can swing by this week and check it (Fulton Market at May). All the prints are available for purchase as well, and they’re nice, you or your friends with taste should buy one. You can also order the calendars here.

More Tokyo coming soon. I promise.
Next week I’ve got a one night show at Mars Gallery with Michelle Nolan displaying our portraits from the 2010 TyK Women’s and Men’s calendars. It’s also the calendar launch event. Of you don’t already know, the calendars are a fundraiser for the Chicago Women’s Health Center. Michelle photographed a Woman’s Pin-Up calendar last year and this year it was decided to do a Men’s Super-Hero calendar as well, which I was asked to shoot.
The Gallery show will be Friday November 20th from 5-11pm. Calendars will be on sale, as well as art prints of all the PinUps and SuperHeroes. Complimentary cocktails will be served. Mars Gallery is located at 1139 W Fulton Market in Chicago.
So I’ve been working on the photos for the 2010 Thought You Knew Men’s bike calendar that I shot last month before leaving for Tokyo. The calendar goes to press in a couple weeks and I’ve got a TON of work to get everything ready for my part of it. We just released a teaser of one of the months, featuring Chicago messenger legend Jake Blaze, to give folks a sense of what the guys stuff is going to look like. I’m pretty happy with how it’s coming out.
I also was interviewed by Gapers Block last week about the calendar. That piece should be running soon and when it does I’ll link out to it. I haven’t been interviewed in a while, and it was over the phone, so I was a little off my usual charming game. Tough having to get by on just your looks . . .
Here, for your viewing pleasure, is Mr. Jake Blaze (we totally need to figure out what month everyone is):
Chrome just put out a promo booklet featuring a few photos of mine from last years Messenger Appreciation Day.
