Melrose Park

January 18th, 2010

Being someone that favors urban environments can make covering the suburbs mundane at times. My favorite Chicago suburb is the West Proviso area located just west of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and Oak Park. I love the area because it is full of diversity and does not feel like a suburb. One of the most colorful parts of this region is Melrose Park’s Broadway Ave. It is a Hispanic district and the window storefronts are filled with color.

Reflections on the Metra

June 2nd, 2009

Unfortunately, my beloved car died this week, which lead me to take the train to work on Friday. While returning from assignments in Lake Forest, I spotted these surreal reflections in the windows of the Metra Train on the way home.

Grandma

May 11th, 2009

This is my Grandma Hume. I just took this picture of her and my cousin’s Golden Retriever, Gus. My Grandma has had a camera in my face my whole life. She is one of the reasons I became a photographer. I also inherited my never-ending energy from her. She just celebrated her 83rd birthday, and I hope when I am her age, I can be as happy and energetic as she. Happy birthday, Grandma.
