Adams & LaSalle

Adams & LaSalle

I took a stroll around the Loop in Chicago and made this picture of the intersection at Adams & LaSalle on my way back to the train.

Berries

berries

These are some berries I came across on a recent walk with a friend. Usually I’m pretty alert and can see cool photo ops but I walked right by this. I didn’t notice them until I turned around and saw my friend making a picture of them. Worst of all, it wasn’t the first, nor […]

4 Ducks on a Log

ducks on a log

I took a short walk the other day at a place I don’t explore that often. This is one of the first pictures I made. This scene was too good to be true. I was thinking more of Landscapes when I got there and hadn’t even really thought about ducks. And there they were, all […]

Davies Pond – Spring 2014

davies pond

This is a picture of Davies Pond. This is a pond I see almost every day and stop by quite often for a walk and some pictures. While not my best picture of the pond, it is one of my favorites. This was taken on March 31st of this year and things had just started […]

Golden Hour

Golden Hour

A friend and I took a walk the other evening and brought our cameras with. Golden Hour was in full swing by the time we got here and we found a spot that yielded some nice landscapes. This was one of my favorites. I was focused on this plant and decided to shoot into the […]

A Praying Mantis

Praying Mantis

This is a pretty cool Praying Mantis as far as Praying Mantises go. The shoot didn’t last all that long as I learned quickly that these guys aren’t really big on standing still. I shot this on my kitchen table using a chunk of white seamless for the background with a white stone tile for […]

ROA – Pilsen

ROA

ROA is but one of many murals on a wall that stretches along a wall on 16th street in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago.

Indiana Cactus

cactus

This is one of many Prickly Pear cacti that can be found around the Indiana Dunes. For some reason I had never seen a cactus there before. But then again, I never walked the trails until this year. Too bad I missed them when they were flowering but I’ve added it to my photography bucket […]

Trees 6/9/14

local trees

I like to walk. I really like taking walks in the woods. There are a few places near me that are fun to explore. Bartel Grassland is one of them. It’s encompasses around 700 or so acres and has it all including water, trees, and wildlife. One thing it doesn’t have is trails. Works for […]

Chicago – South Loop

Chicago - South Loop

A view of Chicago’s south loop. This picture was made from one of the few spots on the Stevenson Expressway (I55) where there are no wires. The view was a pretty good one.

Davies Pond

Davies Pond. One of my tries at long exposures. This was a 25 second exposure.

Fireworks over Oak Forest

fireworks

For the fist time in, well, I can’t remember; I actually sat back, cracked open a beer, and watched the fireworks without using a cable or chimping to see if I got the shot. This year I hooked my smart phone to my camera, and with the help of my TriggerTrap app, I didn’t have […]
