Golf Pants


I wore these pants today, and my boss asked if I was going golfing. I said no, I was only teaching.

They played like a 1.2 megapixel camera


Stats for this football season:

Bears = 1.2 megapixels
Playoff teams > 5 megapixels
Super Bowl Team >10 megapixels

The truth of this season is all in the pictures.

They played like a 1.2 megapixel video camera




The last play of the Bears defeat. Note the distortion of the image, the low resolution of the play, and the agonized cry of the fans.

Orleans Street Callery Opening

By popular demand, here is a photo from the Orleans Street Gallery opening. A great turnout at the event, and received a lot of positive feedback on the image. For those of you keeping stats, the image is 42"x30", and framed it tops out at 53"x49". It is called "Holes" and was photographed in the South Water Markets near 14th and Morgan in Chicago.

Shadows of Polonia

Behind the stage at Taste of Polonia in Jefferson Park.

The 70's Disco cover band Afrodisiacs in the middle of the set. What is it with Polish festivals and cover bands? I have never seen such a concentration of cover bands. Led Zeppelin, U2, Guns 'n Roses, just to name a few.

Late Afternoon Storms

Another evening of intense storms. Clouds gathering before the rain.

Morning Rain

Raindrops on the bedroom window following the late storms.

Violent Violet Sky

Violent storms recede. Here, a distant lightning strike colors the sky.

Morning of Long Shadows

The light is changing. Sun is lower in the sky signaling fall's approach.

Home

The part of my daily walk from the train I never photograph. The clouds and haze gave this a nice tint.

Rain Delay II

Dan called with an extra ticket to tonight's Cubs game. Arriving home from O'Hare in time to see the third inning. Checking weather (foreground) as the rain descends on Wrigley (background). Needless to say, I didn't go to the game, which was postponed by rain.

Rain Delay I


At O'Hare, waiting out a rain delay with Chose. Her flight left over three hours late. Here is the outer terminal after everyone has checked in to their gates.
