These empty swan paddleboats drifted away from the shore of the Lincoln Park Zoo lagoon to form this heart in the reflection of the Hancock building.

Pardon my self idulgence, but a little side note...I asked Penny to marry me from this same stage about two hours after this picture was taken.

She said yes.

Lifeguard Daydream

8.08.05

While most people daydream about being at the beach, and the seagull daydreams of all the fish in lake Michigan, I saw this lifeguard staring dreamily toward the skyline.

The Chessplayer


8.07.05

Yes, I know that Chessplayer should be two words...but it's my picture and I'll call it whatever I damn well please. There's something about this pic that reminds me of the Picasso painting The Old Guitarist (1903). Is that egotistical of me?

Monarch in the Park

8.02.05.

Perhaps inspired by this butterfly (and knowing a little about the process of cocooning and rebirth) I've decided it's time for a new look. Not for me, but for the site.

The images will now be larger and come with clever (or maybe not) titles. Any input on the look of the site, the pics themselves or anything else you have on your mind is greatly











8.01.05

Under the Wabash Avenue bridge, looking east.

I love the way the boat's wake looks like an arrow.

Another Sunday night at work.
