Robert Nanna's Photo Journey
Last Friday Kara and I went to check out the opening night of Bob's photo exhibit at the Threadless store. After a few headaches trying to find parking we settled on a parking garage and headed on up. The idea behind it was that Bob and a friend of his started with a polaroid photo and gave the last photo to the next person and took a picture of it. The Neverending Polaroid I think is what it was called. Anyways, I remembered having been a part of this at some point so we came to find ourselves and other friends. Pretty amazing how with the hundreds of photos he had over the years I don't believe I saw the same person more than once. Bob, it was really great to see this and I appreciate the time you put into it.



The start of the photo journey.


Most of the photos. Bob in white shirt with cat.


Tim Kinsella (of Joan of Arc), Me (of me), Brian Peterson (Fireside Bowl) - photos taken at Fireside Bowl 6/10/01


Erik Bocek (then of Joan of Arc), Kara, Pete Croke (now of Rollo Tomasi) - photos taken at Fireside Bowl 6/10/01


Audio Recording Guy (dude who records tons of shows), Amanda Keeler, Mike D (roadie dude from Milwaukee - probably doing Promise Ring at the time) - photos taken at Metro 4/7/01


don't know who the people are sandwiching Chris Baronner (in the middle - of Ethyl Myserve and Metro fame)


why "live in chicago"?
Joan of Arc made a record called "Live in Chicago" and I thought was really good with good artwork and good songs. When I started doing this I had envisioned that it would be focused primarily on my home thus "Live in Chicago" became the title. I've always liked it because I've never known if it was "live" like "I live in Chicago" or "live" like "I saw that band live". I live in Chicago thus it's that "live in Chicago". Hi.
