This blog post is a bit long in the making. I wanted to document a model who I met and photographed who went to become Miss Earth Illinois in 2022. I have been taking pictures of her (as you see throughout the site. Wanting to officially acknowledge her achievements, hard work and grit. Maria Paulina Garcia, to continued success in your journey.

Went on a photo walk July 3rd around the Hyde Park area. The area is beautiful and I am grateful for the tour and discoveries along the way. I took mostly panoramic shots and I need to go back soon.

Sunset is one of the best times to shoot for a photographer, whether it is landscape or people. Here are some pictures of a local park.
