Photographers at Work
Members of the Chicago Photography Collective gearing up for a new show called “Go Do Good” in their PopUp Art Loop Gallery in Block 37 on State Street. The show is about people and organizations doing good for the community. The show was put up in conjunction with an art installation on Chicago’s State Street [...]
Bus Rides
I love taking pictures while riding the bus going to the gallery or coming from the gallery where I volunteer. People are wonderful. These pictures were taken during the last three weeks of riding the bus.
My secret garden
There’s a nice little park in my neighborhood situated among the high rises along the main thoroughfare that runs along Lake Michigan. Only a few people know about this park. There is a walk right along the lake, a few benches scattered about, a children’s playground, a little cove of a beach, a former mansion [...]
I never thought this would happen to me …
… but I am finding myself patronizing Starbucks every time I am in downtown. Arrgh. I can’t get resist their coconut mocha Frappucino. The Starbucks in question is the one on the corner of Washington and Wabash, just one block off Michigan Ave. They have an outdoor sitting which I kind of like. After spending [...]
Late for the ceremonies
Earlier today, about 30 same sex couples held public civil union ceremonies under the law that took effect yesterday. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to take pictures of the couples, as I was still printing stuff for the Chicago Photography Collective exhibit entitled “One Roof, Different Worlds,” that opened earlier today. I [...]

Intersection
There is so much happening on the corner of Randolph and State in the Loop that I could just stand there and photograph photographers to my heart’s content.
Family outing
The father first took the picture of his family, most probably with his in-laws, then asked a passer by to take their picture. Just a slice of life at Chicago’s Millennium Park AT&T Plaza where Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate (the Bean) is located. Now that I am in downtown most of the week, I find [...]
Tourists
There are lots of foreign tourists roaming the streets of Chicago these days. They are constantly amazed how beautiful our city is. Shot this on my way to the gallery. I don’t even know what they were photographing. I looked, it was this – Have no idea what’s so special about it.
Foggy day at the park …
Really spectacular fog covering most of downtown … all taken with my iPhone.
“Elsewhere” Opening
Opening night … eighty eight people came in for the FIRST hour. About 200 altogether for three hours ! And to think there was no wine! Photos taken with my iPhone 3Gs
Preparing for an opening
