Casual Friday :: Architectural Artifacts (pt. 3)
March 5th, 2010

This is my last installment (well, for now at least) of my Architectural Artifacts photos…. and I think it might be my favorite yet!

For those new to my blog, or just stopping by, one of my wedding couples is getting married at this fabulous place next year, and after their description, I just had to see for myself the wonder of Architectural Artifacts. And, since Casual Friday is all about sharing things I love (and I fell in love with it), here are the pictures!

The last two blogs of this series can be found here and here. (more…)

Casual Friday :: Architectural Artifacts (pt. 2)
February 26th, 2010

Last week’s Casual Friday entry included several images from my visit to Architectural Artifacts. This week, I bring you part two of the three part series. Actually, I want to go back there with a film camera in hand, so there might even be a part four or five. Hey, it’s a cool place and it’s inside (said as I look at the window at the never ending snow).

Anyway, without any more ado, I bring you some very random photos.

Casual Friday :: Architectural Artifacts (pt. 1)
February 19th, 2010

Last weekend, I stopped into Architectural Artifacts, an 80,000 sq foot warehouse full of, well, artifacts. I discovered it because one of my clients chose it for their wedding, and after hearing about it I was so curious that I just had to stop by. I’m so glad I did. I was only able to walk around for a little while, and there are still areas I didn’t have the chance to explore… I need to go back. I also took so many pictures there that I have to do several posts about it, so check back next week!

For those curious, these were all taken with a Canon 5D2 and the Canon 35mm f/1.4L.

Thanks Angie & Jim for telling me about this place, I can’t wait for your wedding! (more…)

Casual Friday:: What Is Up With All This Snow?
February 12th, 2010

Casual Fridays are supposed to be about things I love – whether it is a picture of something I love, or a picture I love, or a photo taken with a piece of gear I love. But, I’m breaking the mold this week.

I don’t love snow.

I grew up in Southern California. When I lived there, I loved snow, because that meant I was on vacation. Now… not so much. HOWEVER…. I do love some of the things that come with snow. I love snow days (sadly, we didn’t get any time off work for this round of snow), I love cute boots that must be worn because the snow is so high, and I LOVE snow cream. Before this week, I had never had snow cream, but now I’m in love. Unfortunately, I ate it all before I could take a picture of it. It’s like ice cream, but cheaper and healthier!

Casual Friday :: A Light Fixture
February 5th, 2010

Last week’s Casual Friday post revolved around natural light, but this week it is all about artificial light. While natural light is usually my preference, I really love this picture of a chandelier. I love the rich red background and the way the light is hitting the fixture. Funny thing is, I randomly took this as I was waiting for a show to start. For a photo taken in a bar/venue, I think it turned out very elegant!

For those in the Chicago area, or those curious where this was taken, it was at Angels & Kings in the city. Despite being a small place, it is filled with some pretty awesome details.
