CHICAGO!

So, last Friday morning, I took off on I-80 east for Chicago...after too many hours in the car listening to the pod and calling every contact in my phone, I arrived to the downtown Hilton where I was greeted with mean traffic and a room on the smoking floor...ewww.  I spent the afternoon scouting locations and calling the models to make sure everyone was ready for Saturday's shoot with me and my good friend Brianna Graham. 
Saturday I picked up the model we shot last year, Hilary, and she led us to meet the rest of the group about 9am.  After sifting through TONS of clothes, we had decided on about 4-5 looks for each of the 5 models and were ready to shoot.  We started in the underground parts of lower Wacker and the other maintenance areas of the city, moved to the beach in the afternoon, sipped on Caribou coffee and then ended the day in the alleys under the train downtown.  It all went smooth, minus the part about me locking my keys in my car, but after that minor incident, the day was a major success and we came out with hundreds of shots to edit.  After a quick 1/2 day edit, here are some of the shots from a variety of looks we tried out.  Thanks for looking!  I will have more to come and will be posting them on my flickr account here which I will link below.  - DB
