Balloon art at Millennium Park
Balloon artist Willy Chyr appears at Millennium Park August 21, 2009 as part of the Science Chicago LabFest! celebration. Chyr’s jellyfish-like creations are a product of the University of Chicago graduate’s interest in physics and magic. Read more about him here. A short video I made of the afternoon is on Youtube.

Feast of Fun slideshow
My good friends Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion taped the 1000th show of their wonderful gay comedy podcast the Feast of Fun (formerly the Feast of Fools). Check out the photo montage I put together of photos from the over 11-year history of their silly antics. Find out more at their website.
Youtube videos from the “Feast of Fun”
I’ve been shooting some videos and learning a bit about video editing while I was staying with my friends Fausto and Marc after moving back to Chicago from New York a few weeks ago. They produce a fabulous podcast called the “Feast of Fun” in Chicago. Their five-day-a-week show is hugely popular on iTunes and I’ve have the good fortune to be their unofficial “official photographer” for years now. Even when I was in Philadelphia and New York City, I had the chance to photograph them in Manhattan visiting the Sirius Satellite Radio studios and in Chelsea.
Here’s a sample of a recent guest and the corresponding short video snippet (shot with the Canon 5D Mark II):
There are more videos on my Youtube page from the podcast.
Mike Quigley headed to Congress
Mike Quigley by JasonSmith.com
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Mike Quigley may be headed to Congress to fill Rahm Emanuel’s seat.
And this blog is reporting that I photographed him in 2005. He was always a fun guy who supported the gay community in Chicago.
