KATE AND DAVID’S WEDDING

Kate and David were married on a warm and sunny Saturday evening in the hidden gardens of Honky Tonk BBQ. The ladies popped some champagne and prettied up while the dudes kozzied some cold beers and suited up. It was now that time! Guests and family mopped up the joyful tears that streamed from their eyes as Kate elegantly walked down the aisle. Vows and looks of love were exchanged under the ceremonial Chuppah and it was time to break the glass. There was no glass within reach so David bolted past the congregation and vanished for a few suspenseful seconds. He quickly emerged with a plastic tumbler and shouted “Plastic’s okay, right?” Nobody seemed to mind so under the foot of David went the plastic cup. Mazel Tov indeed! After the ceremony,  a few signature  cocktails were served and on came  an incredible spread of Honky Tonk’s finest meats and sides.  After dinner the couple was welcomed and toasted into their new marriage.  Then they sauntered and swayed their way around the lawn as they danced for the first time as a married couple.  Rebecca, from Toast and Jam,  laid out the hits and got everyone on the dance floor…I mean lawn.   The drinks flowed and out came the sparklers.  Guests danced, laughed, played with fire and wrestled furniture.  I dragged Kate and David out in front for a few more quick photos before the party ended.  This was such a fun party at a really unique spot with some awesome folks.  Thanks for asking me to shoot!

MORE HALLOWEINERS

A few of my homies stopped by on Halloween.  They all had pretty damn good costumes so I rolled down the seamless backdrop, turned on a couple lights and stuck those costumed people in front of the immortalization machine.

 

 





HEY BOO, IT’S HALLOWEEN!

Way back in the primordial dawn of my photography school education,  I was seriously hell-bent on making every one of my photos look like it was a still from some sort of campy horror flick.  My good buddy and roommate, Darrell, lived through this nightmare and was a helluva trooper!  He’d wake up at ungodly hours of the morning and bend over backwards in a diaper for the sake of my school art projects.   Like most shoddy movies, I’m not really sure what it was all about but I sure am glad that it’s over.

 

 

 

PALE HANDS I LOVED

Pale Hands I Loved is Meredith Miller’s cabaret revue that was recently featured at Links Hall. The 10 acts were packed with gloom, hilarity, grotesquery, beauty, nostalgia, entertainment and some downright catchy tunes. Be on the lookout for Meredith’s starring role in the upcoming film, The Poisoner.

My dream of touring the factory of the last pinball giant has finally been fulfilled.  I got to roam the Melrose Park facility and test out their new AC/DC pinball machine.  A handful of the photos that I snapped ran alongside a feature article that Miles Raymer wrote for The Chicago Reader.  Check it out here!

Chris Hefner (the fellow pictured below),  is in the pre-production phase of his new feature film, The Poisoner.  We built this  paper…..well… plywood, really… moon and set it up as a sort of photo booth at The Everleigh Social Club during a fundraising event for the film’s budget.  Check out a more robust selection of the photos here:  http://rkarlic-moon.tumblr.com/

 

 

SO LONG SUMMER

There it went….again.  These were shot with a little plastic underwater camera that I found at a convenience store for 10 bucks.  I really dig the grain, color distortion and vignetting.

Took a real long route along the shores of two Great Lakes to shoot Kate and Mark’s wedding in Detroit.  I’ll post some wedding highlights real soon.
