Proof That Sometimes the World Works Correctly
Amidst the holiday clamor, deadlines and other seasonal unpleasantness, it’s nice to see that if you look really hard, you can see some actual karma happening. I have two instances of proof of this I’d like to share with you here. First, Sign #1. It’s difficult to stomach the way holiday television advertising hijacks every [...]
Billy Sheahan Photography- New & Improved for the iPad
It’s always interesting to see the collective world react to something new. Especially when it comes from a company that leads the way when it comes to shiny new technology. When Apple released the iPad last month, you could almost hear the unanimous cheer, which was followed immediately by a groan as thousands of web [...]
Rediscovering fire. The future of merging still photography, motion shooting & film editing
As many of you already know, I’ve had parallel careers the past fifteen plus years of being both a photographer and film editor. In the beginning, I made the decision to keep them separate. While they were both visual artistic expressions, for the most part they seemed to be different entities to me. I enjoy [...]
Billy Sheahan Photography December 2009 Postcard
“I’m not sure if I got it. Maybe we should try one more.” The look on my model’s face said otherwise. She wasn’t a smoker, just pretending to be one for the shoot. The great thing about shooting digitally is you can see what you have instantly. The bad thing about shooting digitally is that [...]

Random thoughts as summer fades
After pretty much abandoning myspace (I only sign on a few times a month when I get a message from someone), I’m starting to grow weary of facebook as well. Maybe I’m just prioritizing my time better, but I find I can go days without checking facebook and I feel I really don’t miss it [...]
NY2-398
For the better part of the day today, that was me. NY2-398. Apparently I can’t say much more about what this means exactly, because I signed a lot of paperwork agreeing not to. What I can tell you is that I spent a lot of time with some amazing artists in Greenwich Village for about [...]
A New Gallery Exhibition – and some amusing things
Preparing for a new photography gallery exhibition is always both rewarding and an incredible amount of work. About a month in this case. Earlier this evening I finished hanging 20 new pieces at a new downtown Chicago gallery. It’s a beautiful space in Streeterville called The Colonie which also happens to be a new film [...]
Billy Sheahan September Postcard
Michael Phelps is a really nice guy. Let me get that right out of the way first thing. Here’s a guy who is going to make millions soon and the time I had with him was at the end of a very long day with that started with the Oprah show and continued with the [...]
Michael Phelps and the US Olympic Team
This was certainly one of the more interesting days I’ve had in a while. 24 hours ago I got a call that I would be photographing the US Olympic Medal winners for the Chicago 2016 Olympic campaign. An amazing bunch of humans. They were all in great spirits even though they have been shuttled around, [...]
Getting Noticed
This is probably going to be a frustrating blog for you faithful readers, because I can’t give away the ending…. at least not in public. But it seems like I’m showing up on the radar these days. Twice this week I’ve heard from major art collectors in Chicago. My philosophy has always been that good [...]
