Summer in the Chi

July 9, 2008

illinois-chicago.jpg

I just returned from a couple great days in Chicago. I’ve gotta say Chicago is one of my favorite cities (I might be a bit biased having grown up close… but that’s another conversation…) I really enjoyed seeing my good friend Dave Schwarz and hanging out with all the guys at Willow Creek. We were working on a couple of follow up videos on the book Reveal,that will be viewed at the upcoming Summit.

For the tech junkies out there, we shot with a pro 35 adapter and used a pretty sweet set of Zeiss prime lenses to create a pretty awesome film look. If you see the video in the next few months be sure to check out the awesome depth of field those things gave us, pretty incredible…

The best part by far was picking up a couple chicago dogs at Portillos.

Oh man I’m hungry just looking at it again… I immediately called my wife because she is a hot dog junkie and talked to her for about 30 minutes about the awesome hot dog I just downed. I don’t she was as excited for me as I was… But I mean it really was THAT GOOD…

Just for kicks here are the top 5 songs played on my ipod while in Chicago…

5. Death and All His Friends - Coldplay
4. I Will Posses Your Heart - Death Cab For Cutie
3. She’s Not There - The Zombies
2. Let’s Dance to Joy Division - The Wombats
1. Free Fallin’ - John Mayer

(I was really feeling that Zombies track on the trip… not really sure why…)

More updates to come… Looking forward to heading down to Houston this weekend to work with First Baptist… Great people down there.
