Shooting this travel story for The New York Times Magazine was a great experience. As a Chicago transplant, I make my way around the city just about everyday, but this time I got to really appreciate Chicago through the eyes of a tourist. Not only did I learn some cool and new things about the city which I have lived in for 10 years, (including finding a great bar near my house to visit in the future), I discovered some great places I can take my family the next time they visit and some places to just enjoy through out the year.

Needless to say this story has ignited a spark in me to explore deeper into the city so I can see what else I can discover!

It rarely disappoints… Read More
