My name is Dean Santarinala, and I am a 20-something living in the Chicagoland area trying to find my place in the Universe. I have always enjoyed art and drawing, and along the way I picked up a camera and fell in love with photography.
Took a trip downtown with the DIP crew again, this time Jeremy and Josh came along too, but I missed them because I missed my train and didn’t arrive till later in the afternoon. And I don’t blame them for leaving early — it was pretty cold, wet, and miserable downtown, so I left after a few hours as well.
No hood internet this time. Tripods are awesome.
I went to the Taste of Chicago on the afternoon of the 3rd with friends and we ate giant turkey legs (like baby dinosaurs) and watched the fireworks on the lakefront. I bought a remote shutter and used it for the first time.I sort of just winged the exposures for the fireworks, I’ll be sure to reference some online in the future. Anyway, the whole day was a really fun time, one of the funnest I’ve had in a while. Enjoy!
Went home this weekend to see my mom and go to a party. Jesse drove us up on Friday night and I started messing around with long exposures at 30-70mph down I-90W in his Buick.
