The Windy City Burlesque Fest is Upon Us
It's time once again to photograph the Windy City Burlesque Fest. I've been lucky enough to photograph shows every year of the festival, and this year I've been assigned 4 of the 6 shows. So if you happen to come by for the 10pm and midnight shows on Friday and Saturday feel free to pull me aside and say hi. I'm hoping to throw some of my favorite images from the last two festivals up this week leading up to the shows, so look out for those.
The image above was from a Belmont Burlesque Revue show, but you can see these ladies perform this iconic number during the festival. The BBR holds a special place in my heart. I used to stage manage the show, and they gave me some of my first photography work. Thankfully I've proved to be more valuable behind a camera then a light board, otherwise I'd still be doing that!
Retro? Vintage? Ye Olde School?

And its here: The Jameson Talk Show Ep. 2
Here it is, the second episode of The Jameson Talk Show. That's me right at the start of the program talking to Jameson. Additionally I produced, wrote, and filmed for both segments and the commercial. Without further adieu, please enjoy.
Coming Soon: Jameson Talk Show Episode 2
Here's the latest bumper from the Jameson Talk Show Episode 2 of which I'm a producer.
Can't wait for you to see the full episode featuring a screenprinting demonstration with Chicago Legend Phineas X. Jones and up and coming band Midnight Moxie.
The Colony
When Ring of Honor came to town, they fought a 3x3 tag team match with The Colony, on loan from Chikara Pro Wrestling. This is a photo I got of The Colony's Green Ant. The matches were awesome. It took me back to sitting on my Grandpa's lap watching Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. Hoping to get some more photos up soon.
Beached
On my way to a midnight photoshoot at North Ave. Beach in Chicago. It was cold, quiet, and pretty darned beautiful.
Put up your dukes!
Nathan doesn't believe in punching a dude in anything less than a three piece suit. That way you know you got beat down by a classy M.F. This came out of a photoshoot for the Doomed City Podcast.
