The weather was not great at the start of the day but that did not stop a very enthusiastic crowd from coming out to see one of our great Chicago Chef's. It was another proud day for Chicago.

I will be there the next two days and I hope to update my blog with more photos.

Rick Bayless, Frontera Grill/Topolobampo and Marcus Samuelsson, C-House perform at Chicago Gourmet Sept 26th 2009.

If any of you are foodies this is really a great event. It is only in it's second year but it is very well done.

Shot some new Headshots in the studio today.

I was in my studio today shooting some more headshots for the Streng Design employees.

Headshot from my studio in Chicago today.

Here is the first shot of the afternoon. I had a cord hanging in the background and you can see the light in the frame. I didn't have my lightmeter so I guessed. I think it turned out well. I like the intense look in his eyes.
