Eeeeeeek!

Sunroof

10.05.05

Through the sunroof of our new Toyota Matrix at the yellowing leaves. 

Fan

10.04.05

I can't remember where (or why) I acquired this fan.

One of the (few) good things about moving is finding little treasures you forgot about. Not only does it work (though it obviously needs cleaning), it looks cool. 

Spin Cycle

Lamp Light

Cyclist and Clouds

9.28.05

A view of the Hancock Bulding and a tiny Navy Pier, from near North Avenue.

BIMBO

9.27.05

It's not what you think. I don't know why this Spanish-language bread company has the same name as a woman of ill-repute, but it's funny.

Rogers Park Branch

9.26.05

Just around the corner from our new place.

Boy, Dog and Coke

9.25.05

This statue and souvenier soda bottle (that my mom brought back from Argentina) sit in the light of the setting sun in our new kitchen in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.

The day after taking this picture, the figurine hit the floor (on accident) and broke into four pieces. Good thing I took the picture.

Self Portrait #6807

9.24.05

Another in a continuing series of "self-portraits."

"Just Good Food"

I have no idea what this truck's number was, but I love that number "5" on the top.

U-freakin'-2

9.21.05

What an amazing show!

"Comiskey" Shadows

9.20.05

I don't care what they call it...it'll always be Comiskey to me.

'Til 4 365/24/7

9.19.05

Deja Vu...not the sensation, but the bar on Lincoln Ave.

Church Painting

9.18.05

By the Light...

9.17.05

The intersection at Lincoln and Sheffield, 2.41 am.

Chicago's flag flaps vigorously above the Michigan Avenue bridge.

Polished Cloud (Gate)

The recently polished Cloud Gate has finally been revealed. Seriously, it's impossible to take a bad picture of this amazing piece of public art.

Stilllife with Bottle

9.11.05

I Seeeeee You

9.10.05

Peepholes are fun.

Shafted

9.09.05

The view from my bathroom window, if you stuck your head out and looked straight up. That's a pigeon on the right.

Bug Eyed

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Tio Moishe

Another Monday

9.05.05

I'm at the bar...it must be Monday...and another night at work.

Crossing Over

9.04.05

Walking home from the concert we crossed over the recently rehabbed Roosevelt Ave. overpass. I hadn't realized, but the Sears Tower has managed to work its way into a lot of pictures this year. I guess the tallest building in the world will end up in a couple of pictures (if you take enough) from around Chicago.

Sing!

9.03.05

Silvertide lead singer Walt Lafty jumped into the crowd while opening for Def Leppard at the Loop's (97.9 fm) Rockfest 2005, amusing some fans, surprising others.

Marina in the Sky

9.02.05

Marina Towers, looking like a ginat hair-roller (or maybe a corn cob) with ample parking.

Skyscraper

9.01.05

It's finally September. This summer has seemingly gone on for years.

I've had to spend some time in the south loop lately (mostly getting lost) and while I know it's supposed to be the new "hot" area, there's no way I could see myself living there.

Snack Time

8.31.05

I'm a junkie. I love candy. But lately, as I've stood in the aisle and stared at the wrappers wondering what to buy, I've been overcome by a feeling of ambivalence. Maybe my sweet tooth is dying. Or maybe I'm finally starting to eat like a grownup.

LIke a Bruise

8.30.05

The fringes of Katrina.

Pink Sunset

8.29.05

Fullerton Red Line stop.

Coke/Water/Salt

Selling fruit dusted with sugar from a cart on Clark Street near Morse in Rogers Park.

8.26.05

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.
