Just a splash

Of color that is.

This is under the Halsted street bridge on the Kennedy (I-90/94) headed up to Roscoe Village.

Shoe, anyone?

Tis the season

I didn't really need to gas up the truck, but when I saw this sign at a station I had to stop.

I had some time between two assignments and drove around this neighborhood in Oswego. There were lots of birds....
... and lots of the exact same houses. American Dream anyone?

High Five

Redbird arena had this great birds head painted in the middle of the court. I tried all weekend to make something work with it, but was never really happy with the results. Oh well, can't win'em all.
This is my consolation prize...

The Congress

I spent St. Paddy's day watching The Tossers, a local Irish band, with Jordan in the city. I had to be sans camera at the show, but this is on the way to Lake Shore Drive.

Tossin' Cookies

Had quite the day today.

I got an assignment to shoot an instrument panel on a plane. I went to the local airport to check it out and when I got there they said seeing it on the ground wouldn't do it justice...I had to go up in the air.
and so begins my love affair with flying....
I love it..... it hates me....
10 minutes in and I'm solid..... I start shooting and that's when it got ugly.

Let's just say that there was a very unfortunate cow in a field somewhere in Sugar Grove.
Oh yeah... I then proceeded to loose my glasses along with my cookies somewhere between 5 and 10,000 feet.

Weekend fun

A few from this weekend spent down at the lake.

Not the lake... This was on my way into Chi-town to pick up Jordan.
Dad doesn't make it onto this blog enough, so here is the grill master himself...
And the lady herself. You'd think that by now she would just give up hiding from photos....

Say Cheese!

About a year ago I noticed some people had just as much fun trying to take a photo of the photographer as I did of them and so began this little project....

"You can take my picture if I can take yours."

Okok, so it's not technically pointing at me, but I liked it anyway...

She Shoots, she .....

Bus Window

...in India, I guess I should add. Aurora looks nothing like that.

Hangin' out
