The Lens and The Life 6/29/11
Life can be pretty interesting. From the days we’re shooting an interview or video, to the moments captured while walking through downtown Chicago, there’s always something that catches my eye. This new photo series “The Lens and The Life” is a way for me to showcase those moments and day to day activities. Most of the pics were taken using my iPhone, and using Instagram to edit them. In the future I’ll probably include some of the more professional pics too that come from the photo shoots and other projects we have. I included a little description for each pic to give you a feeling, but mostly let the photo do the talking.
Last week was definitely a trip. It included a protest of financial institutions and the education system I saw while walking to work, a care package from the homies over at Akomplice that hit the office, the launch of a new summer series with Lions and Reys, and hanging out with Ronnie Fieg. Catch that and more in the new installment of “The Lens and The Life”
