Frame-O-Rama
Sorry if this sounds all spammy and all but he's a good friend and a great framer.
So, you have photos. Lots and lots of photos. Your house is overflowing with photos. It would be nice to display them for the world to enjoy.But where do you go to get them framed at a reasonable price?
My friend Brian Mccarty has a frame shop called Framed Classics. he does good work and I'll personally vouch for him. He's offering a 20% discount to all us Chicago Photobloggers. Such a deal!
Framed Classics is located at 1903 w. Belmont in the fine city of Chicago.
Phone is 773-388-2782
It's best to call first, he's often gone out on calls.
Just mention Chicago Photobloggers to get yer discount.

mooncruise*magazine
Our own Bill Vaccaro of outofcontxt.com is featured in this month's mooncruise*magazine. If you were there for the February meet-up, you'll see some familiar photographs.
Head on over there and check out his work. You'll need Flash, and if you're at work turn down the speakers. Nick F also did a nice blurb on the photoblogs.org blog.

Just a reminder that the March Photobloggers meetup and shootout at New Maxwell Street Market will be starting at 9 am, Sunday, March 13.
I happened to case out the area yesterday. The White Palace Grill is located on the northeast side of the corner of Canal and Roosevelt. I suggest that we meet in front of the grill and go from there. See you all on Sunday!
