Well, not quite. Dominick M. Maino sang with the Resurrection Choir that lent support to artists who have sung at the Chicago Lyric Opera, San Fransisco Opera House and other major opera venues around the world. If you look closely, He is the 4th tenor in from the right. If you listen closely....you just may hear him on the rousing chorus of Toreador!
Solist Paul Radulescu,a wonderful Baritone sings with the choir assisting at St. Benedict's Church in Chicago. Listen carefully and enjoy!

Picturing Architecture Photography Tour at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House
Bring your camera for an in-depth interior and exterior tour of Wright's icon of modern architecture Sunday, October 18 at 9am. The photogenic building presents wonderful opportunities for professional and amateur photographers to explore one of the most famous architectural landmarks in the United States. Robie House is the quintessential Priarie style home with dramatic over-hangs, banded art-glass windows, centrally located Roman-brick fireplace and beautiful wood banding. Wright’s Robie House sparked a revolution in residential architecture whose influence still reverberates today. Designated by the American Institute of Architects as one of the 10 most significant structures of the 20th century, this American treasure is celebrated as one of Chicago’s most important works of art.
Wright’s Robie House is located at 5757 S. Woodlawn Ave. in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. Tickets are $80 for Preservation Trust members and $90 for non-members. To allow for more personal interaction with the instructor and with the museum the maximum number of guests is 10 people. Advance ticket purchases are required. Tickets are available at GoWright.org.
If you would like to learn more about the tour or receive images of Wright’s Robie House please let me know.

Night Photography Tips
...What are our tools in night photography?
Tripod. While not always necessary (see further on for how to cheat on this), a tripod will give you the greatest flexibility to get the angles you need while keeping your camera steady for those long exposures.
Wide-angle lenses. This is a personal preference, but I love the way they work in night photography. I use Canon’s 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 ($700), but if you can afford it I’d get the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II ($1300). If both of these are out of your price range – don’t worry! Try it out with whatever you’ve got as the only thing that will limit you is your imagination.
A lens hood. To minimize lens flares from light entering at angles outside of your frame.
A flashlight. Sometimes you’ll want to draw attention to or simply lighten up an important part of the foreground which is too dark.
Our imagination. Tools lie all around us in everyday objects to help us make our work better in this; I’ve used bicycle lamps, lampposts and newspaper boxes to get it ...
