Lately I've been into painting just for fun. Even though my art focus is photography, I use the art of painting in a lot of my mixed media pieces.  There's something really calming and relaxing about painting. You definitelyyyyyy enter "Flow State". If you're into psychology, read about it here: Flow.  A fun way to try painting if you're a beginner is through Groupon. No matter what city you're in, you can find a ton of two hour BYOB classes that are usually cool. Also, if you're in the mood to practice at home, Michael's has a good deal on canvases...

One of my favorite subject matters to photograph are stairwells.  Check out the new stair project I'm working on. Took these shots in old Chicago Loop hotels during the Out of Chicago Photography Conference 

Last week I attended the Out of Chicago Photography Conference. This event is sooooo muchhhh funnnn. Famous photographers from all over the country come to lecture and the conference schedules hands on photo crawls around the city. You meet so many people who share your hobby, you learn about about the business, you practice cool techniques, and you get really inspired and excited about the art. In the next couple weeks I'll post some of the neat photography projects I shot at this event. Stay tuned for iconic hotel shots, city scapes, street photography, and fashion shoots...
