Look, I donāt have time to write a banger post each and every day like yesterdayās was so some days Iām just going to post some self-promotional bullshit, like today!
My email box alerted me to a new New York Times feature covering āChicagoās 25 Best Restaurantsā using my photo in the emailer with my name in the byline. I mean, cāmon, itās exciting!
This was my first visit to said restaurant and I snapped a few images on my trusty Ricoh, this one included. Iām a reluctant social media user, however, have been trying to be better about tagging people on IG lately. I tagged Warlord in this shot and they hit me back, asking me to email them so they could show their mom. Cute! Fast forward to Chicago hitting me up to do some photos and having the existing communication really helped along the process and led to some amazing images for a different Best New Restaurants feature. Then, this NYT feature happened. Next, surely Joe B(iden) will call asking if I can get him in. Thatās how this shit works.
Anyway, shoutout to Yoder for lining up at 3pm or whatever to get us in.
Now Iām hungry.
