COMING SOON!

I have had a website for around 4 to 5 years now. I have worked with three different web designers. All three almost worked out. For many different reasons I really enjoyed working with each of these young professionals. I have decided to change things up and use liveBooks.
The new and improved michaeljarecki.com will be LIVE in the coming weeks.
stay tuned!!!

PHOTO OPENING: JOEFF DAVIS

My great friend and mentor Joeff Davis is in town for a exhibition of his work from this years campaign trail at the Hyde Park Art Center. His pictures are featured in a show titled: Political Frenzy: Images from the 2008 Campaign Trail
The photographs have a superb rendition of Joeff's personality as he captures intimacy, political satire within competitive decisive moments...I recommend this exhibit to everyone who enjoys a laugh at the men and women who supposedly run our country...a must see.

have fun

this picture was made out side of my apartment the other day. Not sure what you think about the pic, but I really think it is a fun picture. This German Shepard seemed to be very content sitting in the drivers seat.

always be on the look out...

out of town

will be back in Chicago on October 27.

rainy day...

I witnessed this driving in the rain the other day. I find it is fascinating in Chicago how many people carry around really nice umbrellas knowing that they live in Chicago and the wind can be brutal!
