Shoveling in a snowstorm, from a few weeks ago.




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.

Stopped by prosel park to watch my friends play football. The weather was nice, for a few days at least.







These breezy autumn days are getting shorter and bring back one wistful memory from growing up in Lincolnwood:
Bundled up to beat the cold, I would wait for the school bus at the corner of Lunt and Kenton, right as the sun started to peek over the treetops. Sometimes Joseph Lee, Pat Nikodem, Katie Schuller and Emily Waltz would wait there too. For bus # 5. The bus driver was a big black woman, appropriately named “Thyra.” And I used to sit with Gio.
Summer is finally starting to peek its beautiful face around here with temps in the 80’s, so Zotz and I decided to wander around the quads yesterday.

My TA for Basic Photo (ARTS 260) once anecdote’d to the class about how fledgling photogs on campus typically gravitate towards three things: bikes, squirrels, and trees. This is an ode to fledgling photogs on campus.



…and here’s a panoramic shot of the quad because panoramas are the cool thing to do these days (click for larger version).
Here’s something that didn’t run in the paper because of its “prostate-ticular” nature and my caption didn’t explain both sides of the issue very well.
