Barack Obama in Grant Park Election Night (Nov 08) : November 4, 2008 was the night that I experienced something that I honestly never thought I would see in my lifetime...  but God...

Thanks to LJ for the "guest ticket" and Jessica Yellin from CNN for letting me shoot from her platform during the speech.

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.

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...

Bulls-Bobcats (Nov 09) : First game of the season for me, and I was courtside with my bro-in-law.  Here are a few shots from a 93-90 Bulls victory.  Derrick Rose seems to throw passes to the crowd the whole game.  He ended with 7 turnovers and only 4 assists.  Not good.  Salmons got off early and ended with a game-high 27.

There were two female firsts in the game too.  The first female NBA ref was on the officiating crew.  Also, the first woman to coach a pro men's team was working as a sideline report for the Bobcats.  Very cool... except their success didn't exactly open the floodgates.

Enjoy the pics.
