GSG Nightlife Photographer

Magazine Nightlife Photographer for the last 8+ years. Nicknamed George Saint-George or GSG because I was born on All Saints Day. Photographer for Chicagopride.com and BOI Magazine and others.

I love to meet fun, exciting and creative people. Especially one's who constantly re-invent themselves. I've partied with Drag Queens, Models, Celebrities, DJ's and the brightest of Glitterati, but it all really doesn't mean a thing. I've seen shooting stars and fading stars, but the stars that shine brightest are the ones who are CREATIVE and never let fame, fortune or ego get in the way of what they've created. I've had many people who have claimed that I "Made Them" by way of photo feature in a magazine, but I really just documented their Creativity for others to see. I once had a famous celebrity arrogantly exclaim "Do you know who I am?" and I've responded "No, but why don't you start by telling me who you are !"
