Had an amazing time at the Chicago White Sox 2012 Home Opener. Great day of tailgating, a B96 Radio broadcast, and a victory over the Detroit Tigers, all shared with a great group of friends… #gosox

Achieved a career milestone in 2012 of 10 years at B96 Radio in Chicago. I can honestly say they have been some of the best years of my life, and I am proud to be a part of such a historic radio tradition. I grew up listening to this station and to think I have been given the opportunity to brand this station with my design expertise from the logos, photography, and concert visuals, to meeting some of the biggest stars in the music industry, it truly has been a one of a kind experience. Here’s to another ten…

Make no mistake about it: The Wanted are having the time of their lives. Only a year on from their huge Number One debut single ‘All Time Low’ and they have already become one of Britain’s biggest, most brilliant pop bands, living a dream that has far surpassed even their most optimistic expectations and all with their best mates at their side. Tom, Max, Siva, Jay & Nathan definitely had a great time hanging with us at B96 Radio today..

EVEN MORE PICTURES FROM THE AIR & WATER SHOW

A day in the life of a Ward 1 Design’s 2 hour commute into Chicago, condensed into 3 minutes..

Ward 1 Photography attended the 2011 Chicago Air & Water Show Media Day and took some photos of the planes for this years event. Full weekend of photos from the Lakefront coming soon..

The Air Jordan 2.0 is a great new addition to the Jordan Brand family, using the classic Air Jordan 2 silhouette, but giving it serious performance upgrades with only slight aesthetic alterations. The first colorway, an OG-inspired white/black-red look, hit stores two months ago, but the Air Jordan 2.0 Cool Grey/Cement-Black is on-deck and it’s a perfect look both for the basketball courts, and the summer months. The shoes mixes a cool grey leather upper with black and grey elephant print along the toe, and black piping and piecing around the heel.

Another night at home gettin’ some work done…

These might be one of the illest pair of shoes I own. Nike Air Max LeBron 8 V.2 Low “Solar Red”

The Nike Air Jordan 5 V was first released in 1990 and once again featured innovative and creative designs and features.

Rumor has it that it was inspired by the WW2 Mustang fighter plane and the most obvious elements that demonstrates this are the shark teeth shapes on the midsole. It also was the first Jordan shoe to have a clear sole. This not only added a nice look to the shoe itself, but provided far better traction. It also features an iridescent reflective tongue and lacelocks.

Ward 1 Photography spent an amazing July 4th on the waters of Lake Michigan overlooking the beautiful city of Chicago.

After 30 years in the industry, Motley Crue proves they still have what it takes to shut down a show. This is the best sound, lighting and pyro I’ve seen them have in 10+ years. Amazing show!

Listen to the Jump Smokers bangin’ remix of Britney Spears “I Wanna Go” in the audio player above!

Jump Smokers Johnny Digital got a chance to hang out with @ClintonSparks at his live performance Saturday night. After his 2 hour set/performance they talked about Clinton’s “Awesome Mixtape” (available here) and the possible JS remix of his “Sucks to Be You”- ft. LMFAO and JoJo. If you haven’t heard any of Clinton’s podcasts or his mixtape, Jump Smokers highly advise you #getfamiliar!

It’s the middle of June, but finally we have nice weather in Chicago.

So far, the Nike LeBron 8 V2 has proven to be the most well-received out of the three-headed monster Nike has supplied King James with this season. We have witnessed the releases of sought-after colorways such as the “Stoplight” Nike LeBron 8 V2 and the “Entourage” Nike LeBron 8 V2. We will be able to add this never-before-seen “Sprite” Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low to this short, must-have list should a release date follow. This variation, which is obviously inspired by ever-so-popular soft drink, features an eye-catching Treasure Blue tone for most of the upper with hints of white and volt on the inner lining, Swoosh and tongue border. To coincide with those elements, Nike applied a volt-colored, full-length Max Air sole unit.

But W1 got ‘em!

Nice lil break right across the street!

Jump Smokers are giving you the biggest mixtape for your summer, blended perfectly by our very own DJ Flipside! Get it HERE.

The Jordan Retro 3 Slide is the perfect after-sport recovery slide to complement your favorite AJ IIIs. It features a full-grain and synthetic leather upper with hook-and-loop closure, embroidered Jumpman and Air Jordan III details. It also has a Vis-Air® unit in the heel, full-length polyurethane midsole and a rubber sole.

The Nike Air Max 90′s are already at the top of the list for many of us, I bring you a look at the Nike Air Max 90 ACG. The ACG theme is heavy throughout the entire shoe, with classic ACG colors like purple and hot red coming together on the upper. Different colored speckled laces are also included, adding a nice touch to an already unique combo.

Found out today “ex-gf” did mad damage to my new wave runner last year, and got the repair bill today [$$$] ….. needless to say this summer will be the most amazing 1 to date…. #cantgetheresoonenough

but you know Ward 1′s got ‘em…

Inspired by the poster for the HBO hit show “Entourage,” the latest Nike LeBron 8 V2 is surefire head-turner, much like walking past King James himself. A Photo Blue Flywire-infused upper is complemented by matching patent leather on the midfoot. The same material is used in a perforated variety on the backside of the collar, and the Max Air sole boasts the same bright blue hue. Tour Yellow appears on the outsole, Swoosh surround and other key accents, including the Lion on the tongue’s eyes.

Chicago Blackhawks Hall Of Fame Goalie Tony Esposito stopped by today in route to his Honorary “Heritage Night” at the Hawks game tonight.

During the remodel of my Master Bath and Guest Bathrooms, I decided to build in an audio system that controls each room separately all from an iPhone. More pics coming soon…

The Nike Air Max 90 Infrared’s are the illest kicks of all time, so when they become available it’s a must to stock up!

“You ain’t gotta worry bout her, shorty straight
Been chasing her for 2 days, first 48
A bad bitch cost, she worth every cent
She look like the best money that I ever spent
Just watching my cutiepie get beautified
Make me want better jewels, a newer ride
Louis Vuitton shoes, she got too much pride
Her feet are killing her, I call it shoe-icide” – FABOLOUS

“Baby it’s a shame we gotta go through this
We can’t even talk
Girl we don’t even kiss
I never would’ve thought
We’d be breaking up like this
But it’s over now
It’s over now”

Can’t put into words how excited I am for the biggest game ever in Chicago history… Go Bears!

It’s been over 12 years since the original Air Jordan XIII released, back when MJ was leading his squad to their sixth championship and claiming his sixth Finals MVP award. With its sleek curves and unmistakable ‘cat eye’, the Air Jordan 13 Retro is a worthwhile reward for braving the Black Friday crowds.

All About You – New Album, In-Stores Today!

Was able to take some pretty cool airport and in flight pictures on the iPhone 4.

Whether looking out my office window or walking the streets downtown, Chicago is an amazing town to capture images for HDR work… also with Apple announcing today that the new IOS4 software on the iPhone will shoot HDR photos, tells me this type of work is gonna be around for a long time…

Sometimes the sun gives you a second to capture the moment, and thankfully the burbs gives me many opportunities to try and grab one…I love the end of summer…

From candy to Air Jordans, I love any product that was designed so well the first time around, that years later it can resurface and still appeal to the masses and even younger generations…

Been messing around with some new camera apps on the iPhone 4 and the WordPress mobile uploader.
