TUCC Farmer's Market Opening (Jul 09) : To address the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in our community, Trinity UCC launched its farmer's market today.  Farmers from IL's Pembroke/Hopkins area came and set up booths full of all kinds of produce.  By the time I arrived at 10am, many of them were nearly sold-out!  Look out for the TUCC Farmer's Market throughout the season at 421 W 95th St in Chicago.  Here are 30 of my favorite photos (uncaptioned - sorry!)

South Shore Drill Team - Peace March and AFA '08 (Jul/Aug 08) : Here are some photos from the Drill Team's event in July 2008 and their performance in Aug 2008 at the African Festival of the Arts.  The first 13 photos are from the Peace March - which called attention to the increasing level of violence in Chicago, especially with murdered school kids.  The rest are from the AFA, where they gave a great performance with a variety of "skits".  Enjoy.

SmartBar - QBert and B-boys (Aug 09) : Thanks to BBoy Check-it for adding me to the guest list for a late night at SmartBar.  I had been looking for a BBoy competition to shoot on a night when I could go.  As a bonus, the legendary Richard Quitevis (AKA "DJ QBert"), from the Invisibl Skratch Piklz was on the turntables after the competition.  

*** If you know the names of the BBoys, email me or add a comment to the photos.  Thanks.

The crowd was cool except for a few knuckleheads acting out their version of a "hold me back" situation.  People were not having it and it was quickly squashed.  There's no fighting in hop-hop...  And next time, I'll bring the SB-800 with me...

Hellaween III (Oct 09) : Hellaween 3 at Alternatives was a good night of 3v3 battles - even if it did start 90 minutes late for no apparent reason.  The Nikon's were in attendance and had to pay $10 to get in just like I did.  Go figure.

Brickheads, Chicago Tribe and others did their thing.  Even the younger BBoys held their own for a few rounds.  The crew I hadn't seen, that rolled deep, was the Freak Show.  Although many people were in costumes, I think these BBoys "live the brand".  They were ousted on a Tie-Tie-Loss vote from the judges.  In boxing, that's a "majority draw" and should have gone to a tie-break.  At Hellaween, it was game over...

*** Although I recognized many of the BBoys from the Smart Bar, I would still appreciate help identifying everyone.  
*** If you want the link to 500 unedited photos, please email me via the INFO TAB on the menu bar.   I'll post them later this week to the site....
*** Fund the hobby, buy your stuff 8-)

Until next time... peace.
