Lollapalooza gives the amateur photographer lots of opportunities to get great shots. Besides the bands and the Chicago skyline, there are the people. Lolla brings together a wide variety of souls, each with their own style and look. I'll admit to being a chickenshit when it comes to shooting people in public. My favorite photos to look at are urban street scenes. I really admire photographers who can capture ordinary people on the street. I was given a chance at Lolla this year to shoot someone who actually asked me to shoot him. Here's the results.
In an effort to add some discipline to my easily distracted mind, I am creating this blog to practice writing and photography on a somewhat regular basis. The title comes from a story about my Irish Grandfather. When I was a baby anytime my mother would ask him if he wanted to hold me, he would say "Does he still shit in his pants?" It sounds like something I would say about a baby and it makes me laugh every time I think about it. BTW, YOU CAN CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO SEE IT FULL SIZE.
