it's hard to look tough when you're flat on your ass..

About Me


Get The Facts | Get web stickers
a few things of note:
- I'M BACK IN CHICAGO!!! i bounced around for a few years, but i can't stay away. i'm hooked on this city :)
- i love photography (i know, "derrrrrr")
- i've had enough drama for one lifetime so if you're not an honest, up front person i want nothing to do with you. seriously.
- do not attempt to speak to me or my brother if we are watching hockey. we will not hear you. in fact, we have no idea you're still in the room.
- if you comment with photos or videos that stretch my page, i'll probably delete them. nothing personal, i just hate scrolling all over the place to read something.
- my blogs are exclusively for sharing my work. PLEASE give me feedback! if you are in a band in the chicagoland area and need promo photos, you can contact me at [email protected]
check out my blogs or my page background for a taste of some of my work, more can be found at maryophotography.com (assuming i actually get around to updating it)
maryo pimps her friends too:
