They have artwork by various members of the family, and friends of, hanging around the house and this one stood out. The piece is by a friend of the family, Mark Zender, of a guitar drawn on cardboard using application of different ink styles. He's done, by my cousin Aaron's account, hundreds of these cardboard works with many different subjects depicted, but only a few remain in his possesion. He doesn't have any site online to reference (although I hear one is in the works), but I thought I'd share and if anyone is interested in his work, I can probably get you contact info/in touch. <br /><br />I have other shots of his work, and plan to get more, to share and will. He truly has a unique talent. Actually, now that I just remembered, he's actually holding another piece of his work in a photo on this blog, under the post 'Chicago.' He's outside of Frohman's, holding a canvas on the left side of the image.<br />-----------------------------------------------<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjThLFXwaQsvPcMiS1Nu8uSAukI_TBWW0BRxn331FtOar0jlWWzoAUlK1o9KzdbVDcU8GE_IlBDu6fEgcGT-HP1RF3XW0O-QNGFoF-hgT8Dit10rOG5rUZ9zjdKQPT1zSblvkNtI0_hU2M/s1600-h/DrunkInAParkingLot.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235699957057741666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjThLFXwaQsvPcMiS1Nu8uSAukI_TBWW0BRxn331FtOar0jlWWzoAUlK1o9KzdbVDcU8GE_IlBDu6fEgcGT-HP1RF3XW0O-QNGFoF-hgT8Dit10rOG5rUZ9zjdKQPT1zSblvkNtI0_hU2M/s400/DrunkInAParkingLot.jpg" border="0" /></a>This one is actually by me, it's a mixture of two photos using photoshop CS3 taken in the same location.

The weather yesterday, and on Thursday last week, both interrupted plans, and I've been focusing on stuff for the CrazuKnights blog all weekend/lasterday. So, instead of posting some fresh work, here is another from the portfolio and the story behind it:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrB0ppYZcbYQ0xw8XRwo4wz1LasUWdNVqkhdYatPjRXCJDqu5cMozcBtDTwhyphenhyphen2KUgF5CdL_1mR22RdFDViZoWdraCHwKaWyfTjjTd6mhnYf2ECDLD2YDGxrtiSQ4UWPWlDlw95WMzHizM/s1600-h/Copy+of+_MG_7139-122212.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231097619236253762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrB0ppYZcbYQ0xw8XRwo4wz1LasUWdNVqkhdYatPjRXCJDqu5cMozcBtDTwhyphenhyphen2KUgF5CdL_1mR22RdFDViZoWdraCHwKaWyfTjjTd6mhnYf2ECDLD2YDGxrtiSQ4UWPWlDlw95WMzHizM/s400/Copy+of+_MG_7139-122212.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This photo was originally used in the issue of Echo that I must've referred to at least once by now, but it appeared in color. I went to the designer of the magazine with both options, and stressed my opinion that the black and white looked better, and would go better with the story idea in more ways than one. But the color versions from the set were used anyways, and I don't really complain much....

I ended up taking a few shots attempting to flesh out an idea for a recent project/collaboration that will hopefully continue on in production more so next week sometime.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpwYTsi_9C9IwnFzxjob8cDrA-X3OHbPaZvi5oPQq0M6K_oZltXaQo-auQNqhfvIBnyMa7LLMZrG_GogFDcQjNJrD0BA8npwPfHGqPrvJ7qD8xzbZilkdymCCtWl4JdYUcNWrcsXkcJ9Q/s1600-h/petitelake2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228899798769722226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpwYTsi_9C9IwnFzxjob8cDrA-X3OHbPaZvi5oPQq0M6K_oZltXaQo-auQNqhfvIBnyMa7LLMZrG_GogFDcQjNJrD0BA8npwPfHGqPrvJ7qD8xzbZilkdymCCtWl4JdYUcNWrcsXkcJ9Q/s400/petitelake2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdK1HmUZEZ7yx5huqN-_EBOGNo4xEJDSaS7QBOUxjDdZ6m1UIxxu6R4us0ZkVJbyOaEfB5Hq35o7AFzAUec_svvSegrj4Pd_sCS3b2nq-08Kpvc8TZVqnbvbX89c3b48o_JdyX6dEb1YU/s1600-h/petitelake22.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228899804455637234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdK1HmUZEZ7yx5huqN-_EBOGNo4xEJDSaS7QBOUxjDdZ6m1UIxxu6R4us0ZkVJbyOaEfB5Hq35o7AFzAUec_svvSegrj4Pd_sCS3b2nq-08Kpvc8TZVqnbvbX89c3b48o_JdyX6dEb1YU/s400/petitelake22.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99KGpuFXJr3hBDUPKz1_1zokkDe26u9uqbd46UqlBQ8LJ4-KlJx559LDTzDCNnM7Itfdf06KZVyuSotueHXhfRbVcZlLYBi7c2PiOSvW8So_wyeNV8nhycihGFrJGfajpXGQgc_TVWBE/s1600-h/pestakerake2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228899815977558034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99KGpuFXJr3hBDUPKz1_1zokkDe26u9uqbd46UqlBQ8LJ4-KlJx559LDTzDCNnM7Itfdf06KZVyuSotueHXhfRbVcZlLYBi7c2PiOSvW8So_wyeNV8nhycihGFrJGfajpXGQgc_TVWBE/s400/pestakerake2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8eqz3gE_0R67YXt5Lkmp60o5tIiXOp1E7UBCm1TwdNf6jL_bGlA5kxhruOfbm7LQRAcTpuCgqPf5iIYAmOViIaBqWRcb96ud8DCYZSoW2YnD9a0HcCLSlQNUNOERSjEg9odHq6fTx2G8/s1600-h/IMGpetitelake144.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228899818364200066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8eqz3gE_0R67YXt5Lkmp60o5tIiXOp1E7UBCm1TwdNf6jL_bGlA5kxhruOfbm7LQRAcTpuCgqPf5iIYAmOViIaBqWRcb96ud8DCYZSoW2YnD9a0HcCLSlQNUNOERSjEg9odHq6fTx2G8/s400/IMGpetitelake144.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmVBOU5BTsE6BSCXeBQqT_KeJfbn_Gq0h3K3TIkxYaeAOfWoAQQcg4o26pZs2Mlgb1muGh834LJy_SNOY0tkCSNcIrRlWynImYxoOLAiobixrm8Djf4sLGU-lFQ1bQuhlfM2dOQ6keP0/s1600-h/IMGpetitecloud144.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228899823874491170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmVBOU5BTsE6BSCXeBQqT_KeJfbn_Gq0h3K3TIkxYaeAOfWoAQQcg4o26pZs2Mlgb1muGh834LJy_SNOY0tkCSNcIrRlWynImYxoOLAiobixrm8Djf4sLGU-lFQ1bQuhlfM2dOQ6keP0/s400/IMGpetitecloud144.JPG" border="0" /></a> A lot of my ideas start with some one thing, or aspect one way and then completely switch gears and head the other way after I've had sometime figuring out what I truly want experimenting with all of the options I've got running through my head. But it can't do anything but help in attempting to figure out what I'm truly looking for in an image. Sometimes the photos stay the same, and the style of editing might change, or vice versa.<br /><br /><br />I honestly don't know if this will be used though. Regardless, I thought I'd share these because a few people that've seen them prior to this post had given some positive feedback.<br /><br />Hopefully you enjoy too,<br />Happy Wednesday to ya,<br />-Nicolas.<br /><br /><br />PS - Supposedly I'll be going to the city tomorrow, weather pending, for a promotional/lifestyle shoot for a couple of friends trying to put together a media package for their recent music productions. If things go well, I'll be sure to drop a sneak peak or something like that on here in the next couple of days.nicoSPONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271901889258802523noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239689018821023893.post-73711804126968415232008-07-29T18:47:00.007-05:002008-07-31T02:15:14.000-05:00Where were you on Saturday?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiENhY9g8NfCL2cZ2-bkA72QYdMteMMDjDHUUiNo_XK-xTvcFnPS3yYuV_Ex5K-H9krGStK5Si_I8bF-FhdZpaCfhBiWawoFAj71Ja9P_c1YEg85-g-B4fkzXcCFyM881EBRevNo83D18c/s1600-h/_MG_74911280.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228587976835905442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiENhY9g8NfCL2cZ2-bkA72QYdMteMMDjDHUUiNo_XK-xTvcFnPS3yYuV_Ex5K-H9krGStK5Si_I8bF-FhdZpaCfhBiWawoFAj71Ja9P_c1YEg85-g-B4fkzXcCFyM881EBRevNo83D18c/s400/_MG_74911280.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />You should've been over at Phil/Philsays's for his welcome back BBQ, where there was tons of good food and beverage, great peoples, and some of the most ridiculous cars Chicagoland has ever, will ever know. Clearly my good man Josh/REVGASM's car (pictured above) always attracts a crowd.<br /><br />The rest of the photos I took from his BBQ can be found on CrazuKnights.blogspot.com , and/or over on the Chicago Wangan forum.<br /><br />One,<br />-Nick.<br /><br />Edit: A couple of the photos were featured on Fatlace.com too, which is pretty neat.

I basically started this thing and then ignored it for awhile.<br /><br />Let's try again.<br /><br />Update:<br /><br />Currently out of school for the summer and lacking hours at work so I have lots of free time. So, I've been bombing hills and cruising on my longboard a lot, at least once a day for the past week. It's been good, I feel more confident than ever on my board and I've been hitting up some fairly steep hills in the Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights area. Maybe I should look into acquiring a topography map; it could be useful. I have some photos from the other day, but haven't had a chance to upload yet. I'd like to do a lot of skating photography this summer, actually... this sentence inspired an idea for my next post, whenever that will be. Photography goals for the summer. So yeah, supposedly more on that later.<br /><br />One thing I did do, that I've been meaning to; I finally took the time to upload my final photos from class. I went on a couple of photo shoots over spring break, one of which was with my brother when I went to visit family in Paris, Tennessee. Many of the structures in the old town have multiple different layers and styles of texture to them. When mixed with the light from the setting sun, an interesting and sometimes mechanical aproach to angles, and the discovery of a lost girl, the photos in the set came back with a strange aura about them. They've been described as "a collection of lost postcards." I've been encouraged to consider mural printing a few of them, but we'll see what actually happens with that. Right now the actual prints are on 13x19s with a matte finish.<br /><br />Here are a few from the collection:<br /><br /><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara02copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara02copy.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara01.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara06copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara06copy.jpg" /></a></center><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara14.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara14.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara03copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara03copy.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara10.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara10.jpg" /></a></center><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara05copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara05copy.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara12.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara12.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassaraextra27copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassaraextra27copy.jpg" /></a></center><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara11.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara07copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara07copy.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara04copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara04copy.jpg" /></a></center><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara08.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara08.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara19.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara19.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara13.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara13.jpg" /></a></center><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara16.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara16.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassaraextra24copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassaraextra24copy.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassaraextra25.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassaraextra25.jpg" /></a></center><center><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/finalcassara09.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/th_finalcassara09.jpg" /></a><br />Oh, and I'm excited to say the CrazuKnights are likely to be making a comeback this Chicagoland automotive enthusiast's season.

As of late, sleep has been a rare commodity. I've been overwhelmed with school and work, as well as, from time to time, an overactive social life. So far it represents my daily traveling to and from the city for each, my lack of sleep, along with the ever present photog side of me. Its not quite done yet and I'd like to add something; just not quite sure what yet.<br /><br /><a href="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/mapworkcopy640.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l226/CrazuJdm/mapworkcopy640.jpg" border="0" /></a>nicoSPONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271901889258802523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239689018821023893.post-40728909378412461912008-04-15T19:17:00.010-05:002008-04-15T21:01:56.077-05:00an inevitable beginningLots of folks have been/begun bloggin' lately, I figure it couldn't hurt to my own. To have a place to display some photography, to share random youtubeness, to be able to post on friends' blogs that I keep up on, to keep fresh on all things automotive with my car and others', and to perhaps indulge in some personal thoughts on daily matters. It's been awhile since I've kept a public journal of sorts, and I've never had an official blog.<br /><br />So basically, feel free to enjoy or merely take it down with a grain of salt.<br /><br />Forever GiraffeStatus,<br />-NicoSpon, aka Crazu, aka Kanjo.Nick, aka Aye-Yo-Nick, aka littlebighead, aka Nico-Casanova, aka nico.foto, aka Riley Escobar, aka Huey, aka some of those aren't even real, aka that's enough of this for now.<br /><br />P.S. -- There should be some significant photography postings on here much sooner than later. If there aren't, then I havent fufilled my original intentions when deciding to start one of these in the first place. I'd like to keep myself in check, we'll see how it works out.<br /><br />P.S. x2 -- Expect more to come in terms of links to love, life.<br /><br />P.S. x3 -- All photography posted will/is of my own creation unless otherwise noted. Most of what I will be posting will not be available anywhere else other than my harddrive at home.
