most recent issue of Eat Magazine (Japan) did a feature on Burning Fight & used 7 of my pictures over 3 pages of the magazine. <br /><br />Sadly I can't read Japanese but I am sure the article is pretty awesome.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3732465852_af774926e8_b.jpg" width="600" height="763"><img

Day Two</a><br /><br /><br />A couple of months ago I was contacted by my new friend Ben in Germany about using one of my Have Heart pictures for some promo material for a fest that he helps organize.<br /><br />He has since sent me hard copies of everything & it looks really cool in person. Especially since this one poster is a little over 3 feet tall!<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2567/3731656193_bbfa9303e4_b.jpg" width="362" height="1024"><br /><br /><img

found out from a friend that AMP Magazine was using one of my Wait In Vain pictures in their most recent issue. So for the past month I have been on the hunt trying to find the magazine & I finally found it last week at a Barnes & Noble in Chicago.<br /><br />This is pretty exciting for me since this is the first time I have had anything printed in any sort of big name magazine.<br />My picture is the live shot on the right hand side.<br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3630552342_0ab88afc35_b.jpg" width="374" height="512" alt="AMP Magazine Apr/May 2009 "><br /><br />Last night while laying in bed trying to sleep I decided to google myself. I do it every so often just for fun & if you try to say you haven't done it at least once you are a damn liar.<br />So while googling around I came across one of my pictures being used in the Epitaph blog.<br />It's one of the shots I took of Bring Me The Horizon on the Taste of Chaos tour back in March.<br />You can check out it out below...<br /><a href="http://www.epitaphblog.com/?p=1607">EPITAPH BLOG</a><br /><br />And while I am on the topic of music photography I have some work appearing in EAT Music Magazine from Japan at the end of the month. They are doing a spread on the Burning Fight Book Release show that I shot the first weekend of May & will be using some of my pictures.<br />As soon as I get a copy of that I will scan it & post it up.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-7278511304340712816?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-62196400032763555942009-05-30T13:39:00.003-05:002009-05-30T14:18:14.546-05:00Wow was this session a lot of fun. I really had a hard time picking out my favorites so this post might be a bit long.

Plus we plan on be very busy with shooting, snorkeling, swimming & hanging out on the beach anyway. <br />But expect to see a ridiculous amount of pictures when we get back.<br /><br />Most importantly I am excited for Petina & Nate, and Linda & Dan's weddings this weekend!<br /><br />Oh one more thing... While we are in Jamaica Monica & I will celebrate our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Sweet deal!<br /><br />Here are a couple pictures of where we will be staying.<br /><img

Not only did I get to shoot a lot of great bands but I got to shoot some bands that have meant a lot to mean over the past 10-12 years and have helped shape who I am today.<br /><br />I took A LOT of pictures so I am just going to post a handful of favorites from the first day. <br />Check back soon for another post of pictures from day two of Burning Fight & some recent engagement sessions & upcoming weddings!!!<br /><br />Now on to the pictures...<br /><br />Convicted<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3644/3509625992_994a9859d7_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3331/3508818019_2083360764_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />Soul Control<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3546/3509739190_b8dae527e7_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />Damnation A.D.<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3326/3509653598_5a1c73f5b0_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3586/3508838529_e0ca8a70ca_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />Betrayed<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3351/3509598772_feccfef01e_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3509600166_fd7eea20fd_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />Ringworm <br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3354/3509729952_c51c22bbf6_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"> <br /><br />Guilt<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3333/3509721630_67ff647383_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />Underdog<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3576/3509814960_647ca7a7a8_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3409/3509808172_174a0f9a7d_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />108<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3508746209_b4aecb3613_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3341/3508764765_4d1f94662f_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3622/3508761949_1df7c9a695_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><br />Trial<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3363/3509764472_730780cd8a_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3607/3508978487_70bcffe446_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3602/3509792234_3b64de3134_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><br />Disembodied<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3509706372_c279b927cb_b.jpg" width="750" height="500"><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3333/3509698716_6110399781_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3508903205_0f3fc81731_b.jpg" width="500" height="750"><br /><br />To learn more about the book & to order it check out the Burning Fight <a href="http://www.burningfightbook.com">website</a>. <br />Video from the show is being posted on <a href="http://hate5six.com/burningfight">Hate5Six.com</a>.<br />If you want to check out the rest of this set I posted them on my flickr page <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/collections/72157617798904456/">HERE</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-6533711101775923838?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-57856153930844165142009-05-01T15:38:00.004-05:002009-05-01T16:15:01.468-05:00Finally some new work to post! I have felt like such a bum lately since I haven't been posting any new blogs but the busy season is finally here so there will be a lot more activity here & over on Monica's <a href="http://www.monicazphotography.blogspot.com">blog</a>.<br /><br />For the past couple of weeks Monica has been scouting out different orchards & fruit farms just across the border in Michigan for some upcoming engagement sessions. Little did we know that when the flowers bloom they are only on the trees for maybe a week tops so we had to act quick. So this past Wednesday Beth & Joel hopped in our car and we made the short trip up to Galien, Michigan.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3620/3492414702_94458e2f27_b.jpg" width="500" height="750" alt="Beth &amp;

Oh & did I mention that Amy is also a photographer? Check out her site <a href="http://www.amystraka.com/">Amy Straka Photography</a>!<br /><br />The gift for the groomsman was a small pocket knife & they decided to have some "fun" with one of the ushers.<br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3592/3392736612_37117cde33.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/3392753948_bfb62f81fb.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3391927801_c094122b4f.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3563/3392740216_171475030d.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3391930675_b660c0c3c1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3436/3392744398_fb04d406c9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3454/3391934889_be32259924.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3631/3391936587_8371fe6e7e.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3391938029_40a9b4a253.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3454/3392750526_de20996854.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/3391942553_7c53025864.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3468/3392755610_22ea49e8c0.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3575/3392759892_2e2c425bcb.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3602/3391945981_504316aee0.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3593/3391953521_31c08b836b.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3391954673_976bfddd81.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3648/3391959889_8a301cf245.jpg"><br /><br />And just for fun I am throwing in the picture of Monica reading her speech from her phone. <br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3649/3391950467_ec2aaed56c.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-3869130742960480682?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-81311093880655401792009-03-24T13:00:00.004-05:002009-03-24T13:19:49.014-05:00So in the Midwest they say "if you don't like the weather just wait 10 minutes". Yesterday was proof of that.<br /><br />When Monica & I left the house to meet up with Kari & Issac for their engagement session the sun was peaking through the clouds & it was pretty warm out (high 50's).<br />When we started shooting at Millennium Plaza the wind started picked up & by the time we made it over to the beach we only shot a few pictures before we had to call it quits.<br /><br />But the crazy weather didn't slow us down completely. We got some great shots & of course had a lot of fun.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3466/3382956386_a26dac345c.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3655/3382135537_2800ff3171.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3472/3382130223_d6dc739c89.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3382131393_213effbee6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3382951580_4aea56def2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3467/3382138237_46d1b45fc6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3588/3382959360_b63221c897.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3642/3382145545_7881003cb7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3537/3382964720_c809b63386.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3382154107_b538d827f5.jpg"><br /><br />Check out more of this set <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/sets/72157615764964309/">HERE</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-8131109388065540179?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-42746620952747865662009-03-14T21:22:00.008-05:002009-03-16T00:20:59.244-05:00This past Thursday I went into Chicago to shoot the Taste Of Chaos Tour at the Vic Theater. I don't shoot many big shows so not being allowed on the stage &amp; not using a flash was a different experience for me. Either way I had a lot of fun, met some other cool photographers &amp; ended up with some pretty cool shots.<br /><br />Big ups to Mara over at I Surrender Records for getting me a photo pass to the show!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.myspace.com/thursday">Thursday</a></span><br /><img

our last day in Vegas we drove out to <a href="http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org">Red Rock Canyon</a> to do a little bit of hiking and some shooting. <br />It was my first real time in any kind of desert & if the temperature would stay the 50-60 degrees it was that day all year round, living in the desert would not be to bad.<br /><br /><img

On Tuesday though we met with up a bunch of photographers in the main lobby of the MGM Grand for a big shoot set up by <a href="http://www.lastoriafoto.net/">Bob &amp; Dawn Davis</a>. <br />After everyone got ready all the photographers &amp; models went over to New York New York and started shooting.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3542/3304105064_4e88d901b0.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3578/3304114666_f5d603f240.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3539/3303294357_050577ef25.jpg"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3446/3304132662_04e1f46a5b.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3545/3303291975_32b3319380.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3593/3304124948_3d733a60dd.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3330/3303305075_75b511dc43.jpg"><br /><br />Check out the rest of the set <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/sets/72157614259254895/">HERE</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-7939219360839734619?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-43005004672503805142009-02-15T23:04:00.001-06:002009-02-15T23:04:28.199-06:00<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Oqz1lGogbE/SZjz3MLZxMI/AAAAAAAAABQ/i89VJz49Hxs/s1600-h/1234760084510-768200.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Oqz1lGogbE/SZjz3MLZxMI/AAAAAAAAABQ/i89VJz49Hxs/s320/1234760084510-768200.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303256690716165314" /></a></p><p>Just quick update...&nbsp; Monica &amp; I are in Las Vegas for WPPI &amp; right now we are hanging out on the 27th floor of the MGM Grand at the Finao Party.</p> <p>It&#39;s a bad cell phone pic but it&#39;s still a sweet view!<br></p> <p>If you want to see what we are up to you can follow us on Twitter.<br> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/christopherz">http://www.twitter.com/christopherz</a><br> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/monicaz">http://www.twitter.com/monicaz</a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-4300500467250380514?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-16684393966934331862009-02-13T09:46:00.003-06:002009-02-13T09:54:01.010-06:00Well I usually don't talk about things other than photography here but I wanted to post real quick about a vendor that continues to blow my mind.<br /><br />The company is called Chicago Soy dairy.<br /><br />They make <a href="http://www.gotemptation.com/">Temptation Vegan Ice Cream</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.teesecheese.com/">Teese Vegan Cheese</a>. <br /><br />So whether you are looking to have them supply Ice Cream for your wedding (like we did!), grab a pint at a local health food store, grab a slice of pizza or make your own cheesy vegan delight at home they are one of the best vegan companies out there. No doubt about it.<br /><br />Plus they are based in Chicago and we all know how important it is to support your locals.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-1668439396693433186?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-53107363051433935602009-02-11T20:59:00.002-06:002009-02-11T21:22:41.369-06:00Well here are the rest of the Hawaii pictures as promised & of course looking at these makes me wish spring was already here. I am really dying to get out on my motorcycle & cruise for hours.<br />Anyway... <br /><br />The first set of pictures are from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manoa_Falls">Manoa Falls</a>.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/3273416104_806f4c0246.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3367/3272634889_3758a15709.jpg"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3379/3273470880_3c1ec6a583.jpg"><br /><br />Yes that is bamboo.

It was probably one of my favorite parts of the whole trip. <br />If you are a fan of LOST you might recognize Lanai Lookout.

Well that's the Midwest for you.<br /><br />Since we had such great weather we met up with Kat &amp; Cody &amp; went to Silver Beach in St. Joe, MI.<br /><br />The following is quoted from <a href="http://www.monicazphotography.blogspot.com/">Monica's</a> blog...<br /><span dir="ltr" id=":5al">We started on the pier which was very slushy and moved out to the shelf ice which can actually be very dangerous & I DO NOT advise venturing out on to. It was not scary at the time because it had not been thawing for more than 2 or 3 days. But in hindsight I cant believe we were so bold. So needless to say I doubt that we will be doing sessions like this regularly, if ever again. It might look solid, but the ice can be hollow sometimes & you can fall through and break yourself! The area we walked on was probably about 15 feet up off the natural sand bottom. I do have to say though that it looks pretty amazing!<br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1226/3266615927_8bdc5651c4.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1328/3266621059_83b7f2ef5e.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1265/3267440506_06189d9407.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1365/3267452010_9c7197aebd.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1243/3266632407_e409e48514.jpg" /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1117/3267502736_bbd8614756.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1108/3266636181_1e5f873be9.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1190/3266641523_0b4a3a5847.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3102/3266657247_f742ed9d3d.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1203/3266663913_f1ab02396a.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1236/3267492372_539f562e71.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1106/3266649591_8407528752.jpg" /><br /><br />Check out the rest of the pictures <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/sets/72157613557474880/">HERE</a>.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-6488590416607952003?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00859298742730289121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-37504346473304549652009-02-06T19:41:00.005-06:002009-02-06T19:53:37.765-06:00So finally I have gotten around to sitting myself down &amp; editing pictures from our Hawaii trip back in December. <br />Check back in a couple of days because I will have more Hawaii pictures posted!<br />Looking at these pictures is really making me wish spring time was already here.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Kualoa Ranch</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3258537863_f2f311f35c.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 337px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3258537863_f2f311f35c.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3425/3259371874_d201c0f5af.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 337px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3425/3259371874_d201c0f5af.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Why is there a Jurassic Park sign do you ask?

I had some extra time before we left to see Integrity a couple of weeks ago so I figured it was a good chance to get up close & personal with Hooligan.<br /><br />To say he was one of the rowdiest clients I have worked with would be an understatement. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3234980114_7cebe2b0c9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Our day started off at the Sax Hotel Chicago which is right next to the House Of Blues where Erica & Ryan were engaged. So naturally we walked the few feet next door & spent some time taking pictures in the HOB. If you have not been to the HOB I highly recommend checking it out. Whether you are there to see a show, eat or just popping your head in to see some of the artwork it is a place you do not want to miss. And to end the sessions we went to Union Station where they were taking the train back home.<br /><br />Here are some of my favorites from the day and of course you can see the rest <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/sets/72157612679541633/">HERE</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3536/3208427520_b20c609e83.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

If you don't know anything about Shockwave here is a little bit of background info...<br /><br />Many millions of years ago on the planet Cybertron life existed, but not life as we know it today. Intelligent robots that could think and feel inhabited the cities. They were called Autobots and Decepticons, but the brutal Decepticons were driven by a single goal... TOTAL DOMINATION!<br /><br />If you are scratching your head asking yourself "what the hell is he talking about" don't worry. To keep it simple Shockwave is a hardcore band from Pennsylvania based around the cartoon Transformers. And let me be clear... I mean the cartoon and only the cartoon. The movie that came out in 2007 was absolute garbage.<br /><br />So anyway here are some of my favorites from the show.<br />And as usual I have included a link to the bands myspace (for those interested in checking them out) and a link to more pictures of each band.<br /><br />SHOCKWAVE<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/shockwave">Myspace</a> - <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/sets/72157612010152535/">Pictures</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3102/3159828367_da652cebab.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

They have one demo song on their myspace &amp; they are recording a new demo very soon. The song on their myspace page is defiantly not a good example of what they sound like now. To be honest it isn't very good.

Actually one time my sister got her foot bit by a goose. It was pretty funny (yeah I'm a horrible older brother... oh well).<br /><br />So anyway...

Jacobs Photography (he will have his own blog soon and I will post a link so everyone can check out his great work).<br />If you don't know to much about Gary I will give you a quick run down from what I know...<br /><br />- Once was a booming city before most of the Steel industry left. US Steel still remains fully functional but that's about it.<br />- 60% + of downtown is abandoned.<br />- Gary goes back and forth with Detroit and New Orleans as the murder capital of the United States.<br />- That's what I know about Gary but you can read more on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary,_Indiana">Wikipedia</a>.<br /><br />We stopped at a few locations I have visited before &amp; one new spot that I have seen pictures of before but never visited myself.<br /><br />Our first stop was the City Methodist Church (pictured above).<br /><br />Completed in 1925; half of the cost was given by United States Steel. The nave had seating for 950 and, during the congregation's heyday, there were nearly 3,000 members. By 1973, that number had dwindled to 300. The congregation left the building in 1975, and it was used brieflly by another congregation. It was abandoned in the early 1980's and ravaged by vandalism over the ensuing years. A fire in 1997 did considerable damage to the nave, basically just leaving the walls and some ceiling<br />From City Methodist we traveled over to the Post Office &amp; then to the Sheraton Hotel.<br />The Gary Sheraton Hotel opened in 1978, went bankrupt from lack of business within 5 years and closed in 1984.<br />And to finished of our day in Gary we visited what used to be Union Station.</p><p>Overall Gary is a very interesting spot to check out. If you do decide to venture out that way please BE CAREFUL &amp; don't get caught. A lot of the buildings we entered are falling apart &amp; are not safe at all.<br /></p><p>And as usual you can check out the rest of the pictures on my <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/">FLICKR</a> page.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-1773150789103908305?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00253512906271820670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-42319122590958609792008-10-05T21:49:00.001-05:002008-11-07T15:08:52.626-06:00<div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/2916614763/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2020/2916614763_59b526b2cd.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/2916614763/">BANE 10.04.08</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/xchriszx/">xChrisZx</a>.</span></div><p>Last night I packed my car full of friends &amp; made the drive up to Milwaukee, WI to see BANE.<br />I haven't seen Bane play in about 5 years so the trip was extra special for me.<br /><br />On the way we stopped at Soul Vegetarian East on 75th &amp; Indiana to grab some food.

Probably the sweetest dog on the block (unless you are a squirrel then sadly you are being chased across the yard). We found her at the Michiana Humane Society 2 weeks before we closed on out house. The Humane Society was wonderful enough to hold her for us &amp; we actually picked her up right before we signed the papers on our house.<br /><br />Lilly, the grey tabby. We picked up Lilly from the Humane Society about 2 weeks after we got Diamond. To be honest she is kind of lazy (like most cats) &amp; if someone enters the bathroom she has to be in there also &amp; will cry until you let her in.<br /><br />Saffron (we call her Saffie), is a puggle. Unlike most puggles who are half pug &amp; half beagle she is 3/4 pug &amp; only a 1/4 beagle. Monica &amp; I were grocery shopping one day when we ran into some friends of hers &amp; they mentioned that they had puppies &amp; if we were interested we could come by &amp; take one home with us.<br /><br />Ginger, the orange tabby. Ginger is another Humane Society rescue &amp; is probably the strangest cat you will ever met. I have woke up early many mornings to her sitting on my chest &amp; licking my face.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2127098006012771300-2206013630330794393?l=christopherzphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christopher Zhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00253512906271820670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127098006012771300.post-53968716679924666562008-09-25T22:26:00.001-05:002008-09-25T22:27:24.245-05:00<div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/2888456033/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3056/2888456033_a509a78541.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xchriszx/2888456033/">South Shore Train 09.25.08</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/xchriszx/">xChrisZx</a>.</span></div><p>Long time no blog...
