Basis of the Blog

This blog is an extension of Candid Captures. The intent, depending on the day, may be one of several different things. There will likely be entries directly related to a specific event that I was hired for, yet, there may be many entries just related to my personal photography or the equipment I use.

Hopefully there may be something here of interest to you and will peak your interest to check back every once in a while.

Chicago is blessed with many things. Food, Art and great sports teams. Add to that countless local musical talent such as Rock Candy. Literally every weekend you could have a lineup of musical options at some wonderful different venues both downtown and in the suburbs.

Check some this scene out!

I very rarely every get overly excited about a car. After all, it's just transportation. Something that gets you from point A to point B. My theory has always been that money would be much better spent on things you actually spend more time in, if not at least move around in..

But, after picking up my last rental while in Boston, my thought changed a bit. Perhaps it's that I'm getting a little older. Maybe because I'm realizing I don't really spend all that much money on myself because I don't find that there are all that many things I actually need to keep me happy.

Well, thanks to the fact that National Rental, my absolute favorite rental car company, I was able to pick out the Infinity G37.

Man, this is the car I want to own!
