Amy Krouse Rosenthall: Chicago Magazine.

My latest for Chicago Magazine was a little shoot in Millennium Park with best selling author Amy Krouse Rosenthall. I brought three white cards with me and a sharpie for Amy to write on...
What she wrote on the last card is something I think we should all think about...
i am here
BIG thanks to Kim at Chicago Magazine, and of course...
Amy Krouse Rosenthall.

An evening with CHAPTERHOUSE at Lincoln Hall Chicago.

Soundcheck. Andrew Sherriff of Chapterhouse checking floor sound...

Portraits of Stephen Patman & Andrew Sherriff after soundcheck.

First US show in 16 years...

Was worth the wait! Such an incredible performance...

I saw Chapterhouse on their first ever US tour back in 1991 when I was going to art school. Their first three EP's & debut LP Whirlpool is some of the best guitar music of all time. So, to get the opportunity to meet and photograph them was truly an amazing experience. Special thanks to Stephen Patman for making an evening with Chapterhouse a reality.
