Chicago Book Launch

On Friday, Nikki and I celebrated the launch of Alleys & Ruins with old friends and 3 enormous 8X10 foot photographs of the alleys.

I spoke about the troubled young photographer who began those night shoots without knowing that his small, unlikely project would define his life, help save him, and become the book we were celebrating. I wished I could show that younger self Nikki and the good life that awaited him.

Thank you to Bryan, my editor, Bob and Robin for their amazing support, to everyone for making the evening so special, and finally, of course, to Nikki!
