Photo by Robert Warner for the October 2001 issue of CS Magazine (formerly Chicago Social)

A test Polaroid from a photo session I did at McArthur Photography. It was for an article that appeared in the July 2001 issue of Chicago Magazine.

Photo taken by Mark Nomura at an abandoned farmhouse southwest of Chicago.  (The image ended up on a poster for my third album Wonder Wonder.)

Me and James Apt clowning around on a ferryboat sometime in June ’99.  Photo by Paul Austin.
