I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new blog. Although this blog has served me well, I have created CarusoPhoto.Info.

At CarusoPhoto.Info you will find all my semi-daily photo posts, show information, and other meandering thoughts on photography. Please take a  moment to visit CarusoPhoto.Info, and have a look around. Also, if you subscribe via RSS feed, please remember to update it with the new blog address.

Please note that I will no longer post on this site. I will, however, leave it active to ensure any links to posts I’ve made will remain.

I look forward to seeing you at the new blog. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at john@carusophoto.com. And of course, you can always visit my main website, CarusoPhoto.com.

Thanks!

John Caruso

Urban Boot

While doing a photo shoot, I noticed one of the models taking a break and leaning up against this wonderfully green door. I asked her to hold it just for a second while I put camera to eye, composed, and made the shot.

Layers

Not only are Chicago’s Marina Towers iconic landmarks, they are just so much fun to photograph…particularly when one can find interesting angles from which to make a shot.

Not Quite a Snow Day

Originally uploaded by CarusoPhoto

While driving around one February morning, I came across this school bus unloading children at a school. Even though the snow was falling–and predicted to get heavier as the day went on–no snow day was in their immediate future.

Alarm

Inside our garage are these remnants of a burglar alarm system from days gone by. On this particular day, the light was hitting it just right, and, since I had camera in hand, I took the opportunity to grab a shot.

Tavern

Overcast days are great for sitting in a tavern…or at least photographing one.

Waiting

Originally uploaded by CarusoPhoto

I was at a red light when I looked to my right and saw this woman smoking a cigarette and seemingly waiting for someone to show up. Since my camera was in the seat next to me, I grabbed it, made the photo, then went on my way. I hope whomever she was waiting for eventually showed up.

Train Lines

I was on my way to meet my friend at the Art Institute of Chicago so we could see the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit. As I crossed the tracks that run beneath Monroe, I had to stop and grab this photograph.

Ripening

Our tomato plants are beginning to look like real tomato plants. The other morning, after a brief rain and while the light was still nice and diffused, I decided to grab a photo of one of the ripening fruits.

The Place to Go if You’re Looking for One

My wife and I headed into the city (Chicago) to check out a store we had heard about. Across the street, I saw this storefront and just knew I had to make a photo of it.
