Nelson

03.31.12 - Chicago, Illinois - This is Nelson. He's from Florida via Cuba. Like Eunice and I, he's new here, so we've bonded over a desire to see all the city has to offer. Today we went out to Pilsen, the largely Mexican-American and art neighborhood west of the Loop. There are lots of cool murals and we found this one in chalkboard paint that encouraged people to write down things they want to do before they die.

Funny Pilsen scene where a girl is yelling at her mom for moving the car while she was on the trunk. These other two guys were watching the whole thing.

Lexy's Birthday!

11.11.11 - Pretty soon you're going to think that I only shoot birthday parties. This was special though. A Freep reunion of sorts in Pilsen. Lexy invited us to the Skylark, a spectacular dive bar with great food (or heaven as I like to call it). The key though was that it had a photo booth (or at least it did until it broke while we were using it) and we were supposed to give her photo booth photos as presents. That didn't quite work out, but we still had fun hanging out.
