Woooo....hooooo!!!

Welcome to the new blog (Surprise #1)! It's been in the making and now finally finished. A big thanks to Rudy who created the blog we were envisioning. Rudy, you did an awesome job and we loved working with you. For our friends out there, leave us a comment and let us know what you think :)

Below we have linked a fun slideshow of Shane's adventures with Mike, Bob, Kenny and Kenny while in Chicago.

Chicago Photo Fun

On Saturday, Kenny, Kenny and I went to downtown Chicago for a little photo field trip. We had planned on walking around a little bit and then hitting up the Museum of Art but ended up spending all our time in Millennium park. After four hours it was getting pretty cold out so we headed out to the best Chinese food place I have eaten at called Great Seas. It was a great weekend and I had a blast hanging out with everyone, a few who Erin and I will see again in a couple weeks at WPPI. As much fun as it was, It's great to be back home with Erin.

I think I'm going to start a project called reflections :)

Master Your Craft

Today was the Chicago Master Your Craft workshop and it was a full house with 110 registered. Everyone there was really into it and asking a lot of great questions. This workshop has some great information for photographers who are just starting out and those that have been doing it for a while. There are only three stops left on the nine city tour, Dallas, LA and San Fransisco, so sign up quick. Mike flies out tomorrow morning and then Kenny and I are getting together with some other photographers for the day. Hopefully I'll post more tomorrow but just in case I don't, I heard one of the surprises may be revealed soon :)

Bob sharing his knowledge

Theses guys were awesome, they arrived a 6:30 to help the Graphi Studio ladies set up and they stayed until the end to help tear down. After it was all said and done, Mark, David, Alex and Kenny (not Kenny Kim) went with us get some food along with Martin (pictured below) who is the Aperture Product Marketing Manager for Apple.

Hang'n with Mike, Kenny and Bob

It's been a blast in Chicago so far with Mike, Kenny and Bob. We meet at the airport at about 2:30, dropped off our stuff and headed out to eat. Traffic was a little backed up so it took a little while but we finally made it to Lalo's, a great Mexican restaurant. From there we decided it would be a great idea to get some Cold Stone ice cream while the temp was about 10 degrees. From there it was to the Apple store and then on to Bob's house for a little Guitar Hero, Boxing and Tennis on the Wii. As any of these guys will probably tell you, I'm definitely no Guitar Hero :) Since it's past 3 am I'm going to let the pics do the rest. tomorrow is the Master Your Craft workshop so I'll post more about that later.

Mike caught this one of me

At the apple store we met Faye, who had this camera. If your reading this Faye, you can get film for this camera online from a place out of NY. Sorry I can't remember the name.
