MTD Bus on Gregory. A bit water damaged. I really liked this photo because of dynamic range (especially outside the windows). Tri-X 400 is aweeesome.

Hi, everyone! I'm Dean Santarinala, a 23 year old photographer from Chicago, Illinois. I have worked as a photojournalist and designer since 2006, but art has been a love of mine ever since I can remember. On my blog, I try to share the best of my personal adventures and professional work... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts!

It’s 2:30am and I’m bored so I whipped up a sweet indie-hip/hop-DJ-mashup slideshow of my photos from the basketball game against Presby College that I shot with Ned on Saturday. We didn’t have any on-air audio for an audio slideshow so I told Ned to just use techno music instead. He didn’t, so this is an idea of what I think should have made the DI website on Sunday morning. :-P The musical cues don’t work the whole time, and I sort of ran out of photos, but it’s fun and stupid so who cares…
Here are a few of my faves from the football game this weekend. I don’t know what’s up with me lately, I sort of feel like I’m in a slump.





Shot the Jay Z concert last night at Assembly Hall for the DI. I only got to stay for two songs (and 90% of that time was looking through my viewfinder while my arm got sore holding my 1D+70-200 over my head) while N.E.R.D. and Jay Z performed. It was still pretty cool nonetheless. I was having a ton of autofocus issues looking back at my photos, but I have a feeling they were my fault and not the 1D3 — so I came out unsatisfied. Blerg. Brad got some really nice shots, ‘check em out. And yeah, how do High School newspapers get credentials for this stuff? I feel old.
