Chicago’s best gathered in Humbolt Park this afternoon to battle it out, in blue aprons, hands grasping cheap cigarettes.

Short & Sweet Tour: United Center, Chicago /
Sweat Tour box office line: Los Angeles, night 2 /
I’m writing this on the Amtrak back to Chicago from Los Angeles. It’s been a strange and long and wonderful 60 hours since I left my apartment with only a backpack (thank you, Spirit Airlines). (Actually, I snuck my fanny pack onto the plane under my sweater, but they don’t need to know that.) As soon as I landed, I took a bus to a coffee shop for a breakfast sandwich and 6 shots of espresso, then another bus to Kia Forum, where I queued for a grand total of 6 hours, with the hope of getting box-office-released tickets. (Spoiler alert: we did!)
The first photo is of the girlies I spent the day in line with; after spending such a long time together, we decided to get seats together, too, to continue our fun evening. We split up to quickly change, Carleigh and I getting ready in the Von bathroom and snagging a few snacks to eat on our walk back. Something about a grody grocery store bathroom as the prequel for our evening felt very brat.
Plain White T's: Rehearsal Day /
I have exciting news! As I write this, I’m sitting on one of those sideways bench-couches on a bandwagon with the Plain White T’s. We’re almost to Indianapolis.

If you see yourself and would like your photo, please email me at estorie@outlook.com (specify which image is you!). If you’d like to hire me, please email me, too. Lastly, if you’d like to support a local artist, my venmo is @estorie. If everyone I photographed sent me even just a little, I could easily pay my bills for the next month! Thank you!

Abby Malala: portraits /
Abby and I met through our job (which shall not be named), but bonded over creativity and goals for the future. As we both take strides in our creative careers, she hired me to take some fun headshots of her!
