I doubt that these photos will be used for the story but as you all probably know by now, I never turn down an opportunity to photograph daily life especially daily life on the South side, which is far and away my favorite part of Chicagoland.

Back in 1982, the Chicago Blackhawks made it all the way to the conference finals before losing to the Vancouver Canucks.

I have a recurring nightmare that I am witnessing a tornado but my camera is either a mile away in my car, is in my hand but I don’t have a digital card or for some reason I can’t get it to work.

Don't ALL photographers have nightmares of ineptitude? I'm quite sure they do unless they have a narcissistic personality disorder, etc.

Awww....the beauty of being a photographer, even when your work (literally) is almost perfect. A good photographer (as you know) is ALWAYS thinking how we can make the next shot better. It's what makes an awesome photographer, well...awesome. Such as yourself. You should consider teaching someday!

I didn't mean to imply that I'm a "good photographer" or in your league by any stretch. I just type really fast! I do love photography though!

The majority of the Tribune’s regular sports shooters must on vacation since I have spent 4 of the past 8 evenings at the United Center shooting one Bulls’ game and three Blackhawks’ games.

Chicagoland has been the victim of two days of freezing rain turning what would have been a white Christmas into an ice Christmas.

One team gets out to an early lead, the other team catches up, the game stays fairly close until the final two minutes when the game really begins.

Nice shot! For green shooters like myself, I love reading your blog because you always explain how you got your shot. Thanks for that.

Three years ago, I did a story on the incomparable Dawn Keller and her and her husband Phil Hampel’s baby- Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation. (CLICK HERE for more info on their organization.)

Scott,
My girl sat down at the computer and started browsing through your photo-blog..." SIMPLY STUNNING!!! Who IS this guy? Why doesn't he have a book? Can I get a copy of the muscle-boy he uses as his profile pic?" Answer at your convenience... and happy holiday!

Here is a sampling from last night’s battle of the suck that saw the Chicago Bulls win 98-89 over the New York Knickerbockers.

The reason for the trip was because President Obama wants the Federal Government to buy the Thomson Correctional Center in order to house Guatanamo detainees and possible hold military tribunals.

Of all the overused cliches in photography, I would have to guess that the word “moment” is right up there near the top.

and of all the under-used words in photography I guess the word "chance" would have to be up there!

Even though I want to be known as a moment-driven documentary shooter, I just can’t pass a pretty scene without snapping a few photos.
