While on a photography assignment for Morgan Stanley and Strawberry Frog/New York right before Christmas, Christopher had the opportunity to photograph one of his crew members, Derek Bond, who also happens to be an extreme surfer and free diver. It was cold, raining, the surf was high and the water was crazy with white sharks, but Derek happily went everywhere we asked. A good albeit wet time was had by all.

Paul Elledge recently shot new brand imagery for Falafill Restaurant in Chicago. Design by Lowercase, Inc.
Next Friday (the 13th!) there will be an image extravaganza at the Studio 101 Gallery in Pilsen. Paul, along with various other Chicago-area photographers, will be displaying artwork created exclusively with Steve Jobs’ notorious little socialization device, the iPhone.
Drawing from various interests and influences, the contributers have used the relatively simple image capturing mechanism of the iPhone as a further extension of their visually creative take on the world.
The opening reception will run from 6-10 p.m. Friday evening, and we would love to see you there! Find the event on Facebook HERE and invite our friends!
