I am Farrad Ali, a Chicago-based freelance photographer.  I am the official photographer for the Hyde Park Jazz Society and one of the staff photographers for irockjazz.com.  I have contributed images to various CD covers, inserts, and other artist promotional materials. 
Over the last few years, I have developed an affinity for photographing musicians in the Chicago area.  I equate photographers and musicians in the same ilk.  We both are struggling to improve our sound and we tend to be critical of our work in the process.  10,000 hours of practice on a musician's instrument is transformed into art with a click of the shutter. 
This journey in photography has led me to view my cameras as instruments that display sound. I have been a member of CAAAP for 2 years and it is my hope that my work in photographing the Chicago jazz scene, Chicago architecture, and Chicago street photography will continue to nurture the mission of CAAAP.  For more information on my photography, please visit my event photography site (http://images.farradali.com).

VICTORIA ROWELS

Victoria began her adventure in photography when she signed up for her first photography class, which was given at the South Side Community Art Center. Her goal was simple: learn how to photograph items to sell on an online auction website. Victoria was pleasantly surprised and encouraged to take more photography courses when a highly respected art collector purchased one of the images that she shot on film when it was featured in her first group art exhibition. At this point Victoria realized that other people might want to see what her camera saw. The image of the surface of the full moon, shown at the left that Victoria shot in 2010 with a telephoto lens reflects her desire to "reach for the moon" in the field of photography. Victoriaís images have been exhibited at the South Side Community Art Center and at the Chicago Photography Center.
