John Grisham + Clouds 365 Project
I am very excited to announce that my image (from Year 2 of the project) “6-15-11 | Chicago Skyline After Rain” is on the cover of the new John Grisham book “The Litigators” UK Release.
Publishers, Hodder & Stoughton revealed the hardback jacket today on their website.
This is one of my favorite days from the project. Stephanie and I took a sunset boat tour while visiting Chicago last summer. It was pouring. We were not convinced that it would let up, but we headed out anyway. Huddled up, cold and soaked from the rain a hour later when it finally stopped. The boat turned around to head back. I watch the beautiful skyline clear just in time to get the shot. Glad we stayed
UK customers can order their copy of “The Litigators” from Amazon UK or waterstones.com

Announcing Clouds 365 Project – YEAR 2!

After much discussion with my friends and family, it is my pleasure to announce that I am going to continue photographing clouds everyday for another 365 days! - Clouds 365 Project – Year 2
What an amazing journey. Honestly, I could not walk away from this if I tried! When I started this project almost a year ago, I dedicated the Clouds 365 project to Art, Learning, Determination, Process, Pattern and Obsession. (Check out the About page to learn more.) In year 2, the project is also dedicated to Community—because I could not have done this without YOU. Over the year, I have met some wonderful people from all over the world. The support and the feedback you give me everyday, without fail, is humbling. I can’t thank you enough. You made me be my best every day!
Year 1 of Clouds 365 Project will end a week from today. We’ll celebrate it together for a day, but then I turn around and start YEAR 2 on July 1st!
The future is very bright for the Clouds 365 Community as well. In honor of the important role all of you play in the project, we will launch a new Community site soon—a site that will helps us grow. You will be able to edit your own profile, password, images, etc. The site will include groups, internal communication and tutorials so we can get to know one another better while we expand our knowledge of clouds and how to document them.
Special thanks to my wife Stephanie and my girls for their help though this year and encouragement to continue this wonderful project. Thanks to my friends Manny, Misty, Justin, Nicco and Laurie. You are always there for me
Watch for more information in the coming days on future plans for the Clouds 365 project. I’ll also be sharing some insights from the past year as I look back at what I have learned so far.
Thanks again to all of you cloud lovers. See you for another year!
