This bridge such an interesting photographic opportunity...The entire area there offers such visually interesting things between the musuem, the bridge and the park...these two just happened to be coming by with no one else in that area of the bridge...

One of my first rolls with the Holga 135bc...I do not think I have ever been so frustrated as I was trying to get used to using this camera while on vacation. I ruined 3 rolls of film because I kept forgetting to push the little button on the underside so that I could unwind the film...It was exciting to pick up the results and see what I had. I love this camera, and I cannot wait to use it more and get more of an understanding as to what you get...I guess that is the thing with the holga, you never really know what you will get...

I love this one, it's such an urban shot, it was so lucky though...the passing train and that shadow just worked out perfectly...There is no way i could have planned this one...

There is something special about the lake front any time of year, but especially now in the summer. The view and weather patterns from such a large body of water just make for inspiring scenes...

Buckingham Fountain

I walked all the way from work in the West Loop to Soldier Field for the Run for the Kids event. It was a great day to walk through the city, hot but sunny and some great clouds about. This scene is captured so often now, but frankly this was the first time in over 11 years I had ever taken a photo of Buckingham Fountain...Such a cool place, great to think we have this right at our disposal.
