Lewis, off-duty and working as a security guard at M & M Quick Foods, 1201 N. Austin, was killed after being shot several times during a robbery at the Austin neighborhood convenience store on Dec. 27. He was called a “Gentle Giant”. Keep his family in your thoughts.

After Iraq

will — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:17:13 +0000

I had the pleasure of working on a series of stories about the end of the Iraq war. I met some brave and amazing individuals. Some were trying to fit back into their old lives and overcome what they returned with. Others struggle with moving on from the loss of their family. It was truly an eye opening experience to see not only what soldiers go through, but also their loved ones. Here are some from the series.

Becoming a Monk

I got to photograph the first day of a two day ceremony where seven men became ordained as Buddhist monks through the Burmese Buddhist Association of Chicago. Everyone was so kind and willing to share their stories with me. It was truly fascinating and I am so glad I got to be on hand for the celebration.
