The vices! Chicago, Illinois. April, 2025. © Clayton Hauck

Looking at this image, I had all these thoughts rolling around in my brain: the aesthetic of old things being used to design new things; working in an adult video store; the juxtaposition of old Chicago vs new Chicago; shops being open 24 hours; street photography from a car window while out shooting assignment work. But then I went to write something down and nothing specific came to mind. Really, though, I just have far too much on my mind right now. It’s days like today I’m glad to be a fake writer and not have to do this daily to make a living.
