Mickey B. Photography's photostream  

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile here on my Flickr page. My name is Michael Brown, and the name of my company is Mickey B. Photography. I am a semi-professional photographer living in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I started taking pictures back in 2005 with very little knowledge about photography, and I have been loving it ever since.

I enjoy taking pictures of just about anything. However, my main interests are transportation, cityscapes, and abandoned buildings.

I have an obsession with night photography. Sometimes, I run out of creative ideas and I go weeks without picking up a camera. Other times, I can't put my camera down.

I work full-time in sales for a window and door company, but additionally, I have worked for various clients doing photography. I have done portrait sessions, and I have done some work for an interior designer in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. I have also done some video work as well.

My equipment:
Canon Digital Rebel Xti DSLR
Canon 50D DSLR
Sony Handycam HDR-CX100
Olympus FE-220 point & shoot
Canon 18-55mm lens
Canon 55-250mm lens
Bower fisheye lens

My accomplishments:
Geneva Fine Arts Fair (2009) - 1st place Emerging Artist
Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning Photo Contest (2009) - 2nd place
Art at Nite - Food for Life (November 2009) - Featured Artist
