  • Still going strong in the year of black-and-white. Chicago was chef's kiss in monochrome. Enjoy! 🍿 For those curious, I shot on Streetpan 400, Cinestill XX, and HP5.

    It’s unfortunate that most people who visit Chicago never venture past downtown. There are so many awesome neighborhoods to do photography in here. Hopefully you’ll have the opportunity to visit again and make it out into some of the neighborhoods. Little India on Devon, Chinatown, Pilsen, Little Village, and Hyde Park, and Bronzeville just to name a few.

    Great video shooting on this city that I cherish ! You took me almost 30 years back in my youth where I had there an awesome full year at 25 ! And that's when I decided and then embraced a full time career as a photojournalist. Thank you for these views which reminded me of these excellent memories and I loved seeing you appreciate this city and its atmosphere. Warm greetings from Switzerland ! Jean-Luc

    this is so incredible. i am seeking this style of vlog and i am so happy that you guys are still making these things. when you still were active at moment i was always super hyped to see new videos. not because of the products as they didnt interest me, but because of your (you and the other folks) video, phototgraphy and editing skills. just absolutely amazing to see. have you planned the shots or have you just filmed them casually?

      MAJOR SUGGESTION: take the tour at sunset. That puts you on the water at night. That is so special.

    Just found your channel through Mat Marrash. Help me to understand this but this event was organized by The Darkroom, which is a film lab....but at the end you give thanks to Hidden Light film lab for developing the film shot during this event. Maybe I'm missing something but that seems like a slap in Darkroom's face. Not trying to throw shade but I'm just confused what the Darkroom gets out of organizing these events.
