I took a walk with my daughter, Francis, after our morning at American Girl and for the first time she was such a ridiculous ham! Typically, she sees my camera and turns the other way. This time… it was different. I may have created a… monster. A really sweet adorable monster.       In the land of iphones. Envy does not describe. 
Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Rockstar Roadtrip Photo workshop taught by Corey McNabb and Amber Holritz. We spent the day talking shop in the downtown Hilton Towers (the same Hilton Towers that banned me as a college student for sneaking up to the roof.) I’m pretty sure I slipped in under the radar and fortunately for me, because I learned a ton and had a great day meeting a room full of other great photographers. After our workshop we spent the last 30 minutes or so rockin’ out to Guitar Hero (you gotta love a workshop planned by Creatives!) and then headed to Chicago’s favorite, The Billy Goat Tavern, for beers and burgers. Thanks again, Corey and Amber! (more pics at greyfinch.blogspot.com)

Thanks for the lens suggestion… it's surprisingly affordable! By the way, how did you know what kind of camera we have? Just curious! Maybe some kind of photographer psychic ability? On another note, do you guys have any photos of Matt and Curt's grandfather and/or uncles when they were younger?. We have been trying to find some and haven't had any luck. I don't think Curt's parents have any easily available. Just thought I'd check! We've been pondering family resemblances and then I realized that we didn't have any photos of the previous generation. Thanks!
After the rockstar roadtrip workshop yesterday, we all headed to Chicago’s famous Billy Goat Tavern for some dinner. My new pal, Sarah Anne Barlow, showed up a few minutes after we got there and it was so nice to see a familiar face! Sarah, not at all a fan of fast food, ordered a Billy Goat double burger – I warned her – but I think she just must have been mighty hungry. Too bad for her, later, as we walked back to her car (thanks for the ride) she confessed that she regretted it. The greasy nastiness of the Billy Goat burger is not for all. I was telling Matt about this as we were brushing our teeth this morning and he said “Man, I love that place, we used to eat there all the time after work.” Case in point: Gulde will eat ANYTHING.

Rachel, I wish we had talked more! I just went to your blog and realized I had been there before and admired your work. I would have loved to talk shop – next time! Corey McNabb: |
