Straight from Kyle pretending he's some sort of giver of exclusive news. I've moved to Pixelpost and have a site that I'm incredibly happy with on another server! Thanks!

The pollution by the lake makes the sunsets beautiful, oddly enough.

Updates! I went to the beach!

Chicago New Years - Navy Pier Spotlights

2006-01-06T21:09:00.000-06:00

This shot is ridiculously odd, but I liked the composition, so i decided to throw it in there. Those are my sister's feet...she's been bothering me to put her in here...I'm sure she didn't have this in mind.

I'm .commed!

Just a shot to let you guys know I'm alive. I went downtown in Bloomington today because it was so nice. Got some pictures that I'm very happy with.

2005-09-05T13:14:00.000-05:00

This graffiti stood out on the red brick wall it was on. Surrounded by other, less interesting images, it caught my eye.

2005-07-06T20:43:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to update a bit to make sure you guys know I'm alive. The healing process is going well, so i'll be fine soon enough! This is an old shot that I never uploaded, nothing incredible, I guess I just like the car.

2005-06-10T12:00:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to randomly pop in to say that the surgery went well and I'm already up and walking around. I WAS contemplating posting a shot of my wound, which is unbelievable, but I'll let you guys decide if I should do that or not.

Update: If you are so inclined, here it is.

2005-05-23T00:14:00.000-05:00

This may be one of the last pictures I post for quite a while. Tomorrow morning I will be going into surgery (for my back), and It's going to leave me mostly bedridden for quite a bit (around 2 months). When i'm up for it, I plan on figuring out a way to shoot while mostly immobile and hopefully I can still keep updating as often as I do. For now I'm throwing out one of my favorite Chicago pics from the last time I went. Enjoy and thanks for all of the support! Be back as soon as possible :D.

Another Shot of the New River

2005-05-14T21:11:00.000-05:00

I know, these recent shots don't run along with the norm of my photography, but I've been trying to expand my expertise in certain subjects. I love nature, but have never been that good at capturing it in photograph.

2005-05-14T21:09:00.000-05:00

My favorite shot of the New River (The river that I and my friends white water rafted down). I dragged my camera up to an overlook and took some shots.

2005-05-14T21:08:00.000-05:00

My favorite night shot so far, had to hold the shutter button down for around 6 minutes for this one (the minimum to show any sort of movement in the stars). The light on the tree is from a fire, the movement of the stars is from the orbit!

Just to clarify, I took multiple shots before this before discovering a method of bracing that actually works. It's usually easy to distinguish hand-shake from movement in picture, and if the other shots that were taken were posted it would be even more apparent (it took me a few tries before I perfected a way to brace the camera for such a long time without setting it up on my tripod). First off, the stars are moving in a circular motion, orbiting, all around a central star in the upper left corner of the picture. Secondly, no movement is shown in the tree other than changes in light (the light of the fire). I might blow this picture up and post it so people of higher resolution can tell the difference.

2005-04-10T18:40:00.000-05:00

Walked Bloomington streets today, it was a great time. I'm not that good at small town shots. I took a shot of this wall because it had a lot of character.

Waves

2005-04-09T18:25:00.000-05:00

This is a pretty old shot I took of two of my friends.

2005-03-30T02:10:00.000-06:00

Recently turned this shot monochrome and discovered that I liked it a lot.

2005-03-16T16:06:00.000-06:00

My grandfather wanted me to take pictures of his car (which hasn't been touched for about 40 years) to put into the newspaper. I took the opportunity to take a few shots...this is one of my favorites.

2005-02-09T14:21:00.000-06:00

I've decided that overall this is my favorite out of all of the fountain shots. I like how the smallest person there (a toddler) ends up right in the center.

I've actually put this up on ebay, so if anyone feels like supporting a starving artist, chip in a bit.

Night version of my earlier canal shot.

2005-02-09T14:07:00.000-06:00

I loved those fountains, they gave me so many photo opportunities.

2005-02-09T14:04:00.000-06:00

Side shot of the fountain.

Chicago Summer Revisited - These are some of the shots that I didn't include in my initial upload. Since Winter is going slow for me photo wise, I'm updating with a few that I enjoyed that I never got up or various versions of the ones that are posted.

One of my shots got on Jones Naturals! Finally!

2005-01-03T19:57:00.000-06:00

Finally I update. Sorry for the long delay and Happy New Year to everyone. I took this in Chicago during sunset.

2004-12-24T14:17:00.000-06:00

My sis Jillian. She's pretty photogenic when it comes to acting naturally.

2004-11-05T13:38:00.000-06:00

This is Nothing Incredible, but I think I like the composition and colors.

2004-09-29T11:53:00.000-05:00

Chicago by day.

2004-08-30T00:19:00.000-05:00

Just a tad out of order. Man i'm lazy when it comes to the photoblog.

2004-08-30T00:12:00.000-05:00

Millenium Park Fountain. Shadows.

2004-08-30T00:09:00.000-05:00

I like this shot a lot. Pity it came out blurred. Remember none of these pictures as of now have been taken with tripods and it can get tricky with long exposures.

2004-08-30T00:06:00.000-05:00

Another Random Shot I took.

Chicago Flowers. The idea of flowers in the middle of a city is pretty cool.

2004-08-28T22:59:00.001-05:00

The "Bean" of Millenium Park, Chicago. Daytime of course.

2004-08-16T21:17:00.000-05:00

I took this picture right before I went out with my friends. The clouds were incredible that day. I wish I would have had my camera with me.

2004-08-09T18:14:00.000-05:00

Last pic in this update. The sun behind the clouds.

2004-08-09T18:05:00.000-05:00

My sis again. My mom wants pictures of them before I leave for college. Even though this one has a lot of noise I like how it came out.

2004-08-09T17:58:00.000-05:00

Jillian (My sister) on top of the slide. I like how the water is splashing all over.

2004-08-05T01:44:00.000-05:00

This is my first picture with the D70...I only had time to take this one because we were in a hurry to leave and it's not that good (The focus set on the back of the flower) but it shows how much detail that camera can pick out. I'm frickin excited. More D70 pics to come. Many more.

2004-08-01T00:48:00.000-05:00

This is Elise at the social, I was bored and took an 8 second exposure. It's nothing special but I haven't updated my Blog in a long time.

2004-07-22T00:59:00.000-05:00

Just an update since I haven't taken any new pics. I realized this version of the bridge picture came out very well in black and white. So...there you have it. (Just you wait till I get my Nikon D70....I will upload many pictures there)

Same bridge, looking out of the window.

2004-07-16T22:15:00.000-05:00

I went to Turkey Run and canoed down the 5 mile run there. It was pretty fun, and I saw some incredible things (I'm pissed I didnt bring the camera, it was like nature was mocking me. At one point I walked down a small river going into the bigger one. It was surrounded by two large canyon walls and there were butterflies everywhere...would have made for a really cool pic) This is a picture of a covered bridge that I took right after we got back.

One day, the graceful Kevin and Brandon may be rendered extinct by the horrors of human technology.

2004-07-14T16:16:00.000-05:00

This isnt an awesome pic, but I like the lens flare effect.

The Beach

2004-07-14T16:07:00.000-05:00

Well my friends, soon I am to take an expedition to the lakeshore with some friends (Elise, Kevin, Brandon) It's gonna be a fun time with lots of photo ops, so be sure to check back whenever you can. I'll post the best of them.

2004-07-14T14:35:00.000-05:00

I took this on the dunes. I found this incredible place to hang out (with the help of my girlfriend). These trees were so tall and skinny it was hard to believe they could stay up.

2004-07-14T14:34:00.000-05:00

Pretty building at night.

2004-07-14T14:27:00.000-05:00

It's not really incredible, but I like the way the city reflects off of the surface.

2004-07-14T14:26:00.000-05:00

Just a pigeon. I love Chicago.

2004-07-14T14:25:00.000-05:00

The clouds were swirling around the top of the Hancock bulding. Very cool.

So, I've decided to move to Blogger

2004-07-14T14:08:00.000-05:00

Yeah, Livejournal is ok....but it just seems....too....icky? I donno, overused by emo kids sounds more like it. I'm sure the same problem plagues this guy, but I wanna check it out anyways because it seems a lot better to me.
