About a month ago I came up with the idea of putting on a shoot for Chicago Avenue Salon (where I get my haircut) and a new store in the neighborhood called Black Market Caviar (urban fashion and designer t-shirts). Well we had a great shoot earlier this week on Monday night, and I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you. Let me know what you guys think.

I received some exciting news a couple weeks ago. I was officially named as one of Chicago’s top wedding photographers according to the Knot. What makes this extra special is the Knot talks to Chicago brides as part of their voting process, so some of my former clients voted for me! Here’s a link the page on the Knot where you can find me listed. I’m also listed next to my buddy Kenny Kim.
Kenny – we’ll have to buy each other a bottle of Crystal next time we meet up!
Julie Vieux - Congratulations Steve, that's great news! Keep up the good work.
myncphyporp - Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I've been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers

So it’s been a while since our trip to Whistler… but finally… here’s the recap of our entire trip. We flew into Vancouver on Thursday, and then took a three hour bus trip to Whistler Mountain. It was raining most of the time, and very foggy, so we didn’t get a chance to see that much. Once we got closer to Whistler, the rain had turned to snow, and it was coming down pretty hard.
We checked into the Château Fairmont Hotel, which was a very nice hotel located at the bottom of Blackcomb Mountain, which is right next to Whistler Mountain. We rented all of our ski equipment through the hotel, so everything was very easy. The next morning we got up early and had a full day of skiing. Keep in mind I hadn’t been skiing for about 15 years, and Carolyn hadn’t skied in about 18 years. Carolyn went ahead and took a class for the day, and I was a little more adventurous and decided to go my own round. Here are some pictures from our second day of skiing.
Overall we were really happy with the skiing. The first day we got there, they got about 25-30 inches of snow. From what everyone told us, they really needed the snow. And with the Olympics just a couple weeks away, they were starting to get concerned.
One of the afternoons, Carolyn and I went dogsledding, which was an unbelievable experience! The whole trip took us about 2 1/2 hours. Most of the time was setting up and getting the dogs situated. I actually got to mush for about two or three minutes, which was an interesting experience. It’s definitely a lot easier then I thought. It’s kind of like riding on the back of a golf cart, except you’re yelling at the dogs the whole time to make sure they run in a straight line. Here are a couple pictures and a video of us in the dogsled.
The other really cool thing we did was going ziplining. Whistler is known for some of the best ziplining in the country. We went on about five different lines, all of which were over a creek which made it extra fun. It’s actually a lot easier than it sounds. You basically just get hooked into the line, and hang on for the ride. It’s so easy, Carolyn and I did the last line upside down. Here are some pictures from the zip line along with one or two videos.
All in all we were really impressed with with the entire trip. Whistler was a great place, and everyone was very friendly. I never felt like we were even in a different country. In fact most of the people in Whistler are from Australia. Go figure. We would definitely go back to Whistler and Vancouver again!
360 days. That’s what I saw when I turned my Ninentdo Wii on today to work out. It was telling me the last time I had turned on my Wii was 360 days ago. I immediately had one of those moments where you realize.. wow has it really has been that long. I didn’t feel horrible about it, because a couple weeks ago I committed myself to running another Chicago Marathon. This will be my 4th marathon I’ve done, but I’ve taken about a 5 year break from running marathons, so it will be a little harder to get back in shape for this one. Marathons are a great motivation for me to get back into shape because I usually start working out only for a couple weeks, then I start to feel better again, which leads me to not workout as frequent.
So this is where I need your help…you’ve got to ask me about how my training is coming along when I start to train (official training starts in March at the Shamrock Shuffle). So all I ask that you post a comments, shoot me an email, or write on my Facebook wall and ask me how my training is going.
If you’re thinking about running a marathon, I HIGHLY recommend it. Before I ran my first marathon, I hadn’t run more than about 3 miles. And I was defintely not a runner and never liked running, but once I was running towards a specific goal, I really started to enjoy running. If you’re in Chicago, I would recommend joining CARA (Chicago Area Runners Association). It’s a great group of people who run a program built for the first time marathon runner. If you’re not in Chicago, make sure to check out Hal Higdon’s website or books. He’s a great author, and person, and can get you to the finish line of your first marathon.
Jenn Gaudreau - Awesome, Steve!! I'll be asking you how that's going! I'm toying with the idea of training for the 5K in September....but no formal commitment yet, haha! Best of luck- I know you'll rock it. Can't wait to see you and Carolyn!
Otto Rascon - Hey Steve. I think it is awesome that you are getting ready to run another marathon. It's great that you are opening it up to have pople motivate you. Rock it out dude!
goldhaber - Thanks Otto! Hope all is well with you.
goldhaber - Thanks Jen! I hope all is going well with the move to Chicago. Let me know if you need anything.
goldhaber - Just had my annual physical and my doctor cleared my for the marathon. Am I starting to get old enough to need permission from my doctor to do things like this? WTF?
Earlier this year the folks at Digitas did a charity calendar for the Off the Streets Club, which is a Chicago charity aimed at helping kids stay safe after school. So the nature of the calendar involved growing a mustache for about a month. After that, each person had their own photoshoot which involved coming up with a unique idea. The whole shoot took about two weeks since most of the shots involved different locations. This project was a great experience for me. I got to develop a lot of original concepts and bring them to life in a funny and unique way. Every shoot was different, but the one thing that held everything together was the idea that “Man moustaches sure can be pretty damn funny”. All of the proceeds of the calendar will be donated to the Off the Streets Club. Leave a comment if you’re interesting in buying a calendar. There is no set price, it’s just whatever you’re comfortable donating to a really good cause.
Here’s our holiday card for 2009. Special thanks to Kenny Kim for coming over to our place and taking the picture on our front steps. This picture was taken about 4-5 months ago. Ruby is much larger today and she weighs about 75 pounds. Happy Holidays!
