Daily Photos - January 3, 2012

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!
Between the holidays and some family health issues that have been preoccupying my time, I’ve totally neglected my website and leaving comments on the daily postings for over two weeks now... Being back online feels great and is definitely helping to get my creative juices flowing again. Now that everyone and everything seems to be on the mend, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

From That's How I See It 2011 -

  • "The Painter"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 7, 2011
  • "Tamale Spaceship"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 8, 2011<br /> <br /> What better to accompany my recent street photography postings than a shot of some “Street Food!” The proprietors of this local Chicago food truck called the Tamale Spaceship wear these awesome Mexican wrestling masks while dishing up some seriously tasty tamales. Can it get any better that this?
  • "On The Go"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 6, 2011
  • "Bell Ringer"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 2, 2011<br /> <br /> Well, this is a MAJOR departure from my typical (and safe) flower and landscape shots! "Bell Ringer" is my first posting in a new style / genre of photography (street scenes / street photography) that I've been interested in trying my hand at for quite some time. I've flirted with it a few times before, getting some broader city shots that were more architectural in nature, but to be honest, I just haven't had guts to get out there and get close to people. <br /> There is definitely something very exciting about the edginess and grit of the street! <br /> <br /> I have been studying some work by a photographer I learned of just recently. His name is Thomas Leuthard and his website is 85mm Street Photography. Anyone interested in street photography should definitely check him out! I didn't realize how true the below quote was until I got out there and tried it! Holy smokes!!!<br /> <br /> "The shorter your focal length is, the bigger your balls have to be..." - 85mm.ch
  • “Unf*ck the Future”<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 5, 2011<br /> <br /> I’ve taken on a new adventure to explore street photography here in Chicago and this is the second posting from that series / genre. The purpose of this new adventure is to get out of my comfort zone and to challenge myself to capture various street scenes. This unposed and very fluid style of photography is a major departure from my “standard” flower and landscape shots. I really like how the the first image in the series, Bell Ringer, captures the rawness of the street, but this second posting is so edgy that I was a little hesitant about sharing it... <br /> <br /> This posting is of a young man who is part of the larger group of Occupy Chicago protesters who have taken up a permanent post a few blocks from my office. He holds a ‘colorful’ sign in support of the movement and his fellow protesters. He might need to do a little more than just hold that sign if he want to accomplish his goal though...
  • Adams & Dearborn<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - 11/11/11<br /> <br /> The shot looks a little grainy, but it's actually snow! So not ready for that yet!
  • The Naughty Seat<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 15, 2011<br /> <br /> All I could think of when I saw this was "that's two minutes on the naughty seat for you mister!" It's funny how having kids changes the way we think...
  • Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year to all of my friends here at SmugMug!!!

  • "Blue Line"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - December 14, 2011
  • "Little Red Riding Hood"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - January 13, 2012<br /> <br /> One of the few people out braving Chicago's first real snow of the season...
  • "Deja vu"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - January 17, 2012
  • "Wabash"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - January 19, 2012<br /> <br /> Thank you all so much for commenting on my posting from yesterday, All About L's. It was really an eye-opener for me to learn what others saw in the image! I have to admit that, originally, I only saw three things in the shot that start with the letter "L" : Legs, Lines, and Light, but everyone that commented found quite a few more!
  • "Orange, Orange...Banana?"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - January 31, 2012<br /> <br /> Waiting... Eating a banana... And unknowingly doing so in fabulous color matching style...<br /> <br /> I spotted this person while I was out for a quick photo walk on my lunch break yesterday. The touches of orange in her jacket and hat against the rusty orange wall jumped out at me. I was only able to get off this one shot before she started walking away.
  • Preoccupied<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - February 1, 2012<br /> <br /> Out on a lunchtime photo-walk enjoying the near 60 degree weather. Certainly a welcome reprieve from the typical January weather here in Chicago! <br /> <br /> Don't know if word has spread yet, but I was totally bummed out yesterday when I learned that Picnik will soon be no more!!! :(
  • "Knuckle Sandwich"<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - February 7, 2012<br /> <br /> There's a knuckle-sandwich waiting for anyone who dares to mess with the hair...
  • Daily Photos - February 9, 2012
  • These Boots<br /> <br /> Daily Photos - February 17, 2012<br /> <br /> I couldn't help but wonder if she was showing off her fancy boots, flipping me the bird or if she was just off in her own world...
  • Look - Up In The Sky!! It's a bird, it's a plane! It's... <br /> <br /> ...my ONE-HUNDRED THOUSANDTH photo view!<br /> <br /> It's a huge milestone and a mini-celebration for me!!! I'm coming up to the 1 year anniversary (Feb 25th) of the date I opened my account and posted my very first picture on SmugMug. 100,000 photo views is probably small-beans compared to the activity a lot of other SmugMuggers see, but I'm pretty happy with my little site so far! Yeah!! <br /> <br /> Daily Photos - February 21, 2012
