My favorite shoes – part 1

We’ve been traveling for the past few days and will be heading back soon.  Here is part 1 of a series of pics of our baby girls favorite shoes.

Family Friendly?

We were walking through the crowd at the Taste of Madison and out of the corner of my eye I caught these two enjoying time together.  I’m not sure what was stranger, seeing these two showing affection for one another at a family friendly event or that they were lying next to a porta-potty?

Crown Fountain part 2

This picture, taken of Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago was taken around 5:30 am.  My prior picture was taken just 2 hours later.  Look at the clouds and you can see the amazing transformation from a cloudy, potentially gloomy day to one filled with sunshine.

Exploring my first library book

She may only be 15 months old but she is making every attempt to act beyond her age.

The Right Angle

I enjoy capturing others taking pictures. Here’s a group getting their picture taken. I like the young lady trying to get the right angle and the guy nearest me telling everyone to hold up.

Tower within a Frame part 2

Part 1

Quick post today.  Here’s another picture of downtown Chicago through a frame.  I purposing focused on the statue to get a good depth of field.  The shot came out pretty good.

What’s in my bag – Retro Lamp

I’ve been asked a few times what I carry in my bag.  Here is a video showing what I typically carry.

I’m not sure why I was fascinated by this lamp (I posted a prior pic here).  Maybe I was just mesmerized by the color of the light and the contrast created between it and the background with my Leica 50mm noctilux.

3 Monuments

This past weekend we went back home for a birthday party.  One evening, I was out searching for photo opportunities and as we were heading back home we came across a cemetery.  It was almost “pitch black” by then and thought I would try to catch a few hand-held shots with my Leica M9 and 50mm noctilux.  Even though this picture is dark, I really like the silhouette and the mood that it sets.
