Family View
featuring Paul Elledge, Leasha Overturf & Jo-Nell Sieren
What is family?
The answer can be comforting to some, and terrifying to others. For most of us the answer lies somewhere in-between those two extremes, and that’s where things just begin to get interesting.
Join us in welcoming Paul Elledge, Leasha Overturf and Jo-Nell Sieren to the Family Room Gallery this September as they individually answer this seemingly simple, straightforward question through a common medium of photography in “Family View.”

ESPN magazine is without a doubt one of my favorite mags to shoot for. In this biz, when you get a call for an assignment from a magazine, you usually want to hear about it before saying yes, so you don’t get roped into something you don’t really want to do. Not the case when I get a call from ESPN. Whenever I get a call from them for a shoot, the answer is always yes.

Doesn’t matter what it is, I always know I want to do it. I’ve Never said no to anything that they have offered up. Not only are athletes one of my favorite subjects to shoot, but the magazine itself: the photography editing, the design and photography treatment, and the reporting, are the best in the magazine business. I don’t think anyone in the mag biz would argue otherwise. When I think back to all of the shoots for all the different magazines I’ve done over the years, a lot of my personal faves were for ESPN………


Paul and Leasha at Laguna Seca
This past weekend my producer Leasha and I attended the Moto GP race at Laguna Seca in California. Although we were cheering for different racers/teams, we still managed to have a good time! One of the only things that gets me as excited as image-making is the sound of a Moto GP bike screaming down the track!

And speaking of Leasha, she has been chosen as a member of the Chicago Project, and will have two new prints hanging at the Catherine Edelman Gallery from July 10th – September 4th! Mark your calendars and make your plans to drop by the Edelman Gallery this Friday night for the opening reception – we’d love to see you there!

Being at the Oprheum Theatre was awesome for this very special event. We were all part of the audience as Brett Gelman was being filmed for his one man show 1000 Cats. This will air on HBO in July. I’ll keep everyone posted. It is an amazing, very funny, performance.
