I am a Chicago actor and vocalist.  I also hire models for film acting projects.  That's actually me IN the photo.  My top friend Bryant Parks is the photographer.  I do quite a bit of on camera work, but since there is no category for actors, and I produce all post production in filming, I am under the Photographer catagory.  As you can see, I'm so much more ;-)
