I haven't posted to here in a long while. These are from Friday in Chicago. I have had mixed feelings about nightlife photography. I don't really have the type of friend set that would provide me companies at these types of places. Specifically I do and don't have ties to the queer community. ( I have been focused on bars here due to a internship with Windy City Times/Nightspots) I would like to branch out. I have met some really nice people and had some crazy experiences while shooting. I guess the past couple of months have tested my ability to be alone.

I took images at a street parade, a bar, and a house party. Trying to change my approach to the nightlife style. I have been exploring with my flash. The first images shows some of the multiple exposure work I have been trying.
( I feel like I am growing in some ways but, feel stagnant in others. The bar/club environment is kind of stressful for me and you can see it in the lack of composition or generally focus in the recent work. I am having a harder and harder time seeing if my images work. I would love feedback.

I currently have some images up at the Center on Halsted and am working on ideas for a polish artist show which will be held in January in Pilsen.
