Photography by Thomas Marlow.Believe it or not, this photo was shot out at O'Hare Airport, shortly before Ira had to catch a flight to Sweden. You wouldn't guess it from the photo, but Ira was worried about missing her plane and a bit camera shy during our quick photo session.
Thomas Marlow happened to be at the airport today shooting photos for his Chicago Street Studio Project, which I'd read about in a Chicago Reader article a couple months back. In fact, I'd traveled downtown to The Silk Road Oasis on September 30 to have my portrait taken, but Marlow had already pulled up shop. (The trip was not wasted, however, as I ended up catching a noontime performance by Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, but that's another story). So, I was particularly pleased to spot him and his portable studio at O'Hare and to be able to get my picture taken with Ira.
Marlow's biography is remarkable. He'd never shot portraits when he began his project, which is being sponsored by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. I suspect that when he wraps up this project, he'll have plenty of potential clients seeking professional portraits.
