First things first. I'm going to be in a group show this weekend! It'll consist of a handful of us SAIC alum that work/volunteer at the Field Museum! That glass plate chrysalis project I posted months ago is finally getting some air. Nov. 2nd at the Gallery Warehouse, 6pm-8pm. 606 Dempster, Evanston, IL, 60201. I should mention that the Field Museum has no affiliation with this show and had no part in helping create the this show.
So every year this roller blading contest happens in Chicago. It happens sort of guerrilla style and bladers from all over the US show up to compete and/or spectate. Hopefully we don't hit any innocent bystanders or get kicked out of a spot by cops or security guards. This year was my first time spectating so I took some pics on film and somehow managed to get them published on the One Blade Mag article about the event. Check it all out at the link below!

About a month ago I was asked by Steve Clawson, a student at Beloit and head of the Geology Club, to take photos of part of the Beloit Geology Department's collection. I joined them on a collecting trip and spent the rest of the day photographing specimens from the La Brea Tar Pits. Below are a Smilodon, Sabertooth Cat, skull (view from the bottom and Lateral view).
