Hello. It’s Saturday and I’m working. Gotta pay these studio bills one $100 portrait session at a time. I’m good at business!

This photo was made at the Fashion Outlet Mall in Rosemont, Illinois while my car was charging. The art is by the amazing artist Alvaro Ilizarbe. I was commissioned to document the art installations at this mall a decade or so back and spent a few days hanging with Alvaro up on the scaffolding while he hand painted this entire piece. It is incredible and worth a trip to the mall just to see it.
