Neon Yellow

I always like finding interesting people.  As I was walking around Chicago, I came across a guy at the cross walk wearing neon yellow headphones.  I politely asked if I could take his picture and he obliged.  Later, when I was processing the picture I noticed the red buses in the background.  I think the red adds a lot to the picture.

Hey Grandpa

Recently, we went home for a friends wedding and had just enough time to visit with family members.  Because we live a few hours a way, our baby girl doesn’t get to interact with her extended family.  Here is a picture taken at her great grandmothers house playing with grandpa and great grandma.

Our Future @ 5 months

Our baby girl continues to cooperate when taking her picture on the couch.  I’m thinking her 6 or 7 month picture will have her sitting up.

Wow has she grown!!!

P.S.  I’m using a new slideshow viewer, it should start automatically.  You can hover your mouse over the image and can go back or enlarge it.

 

Here he comes

When you’re walking around big cities you will often come across some unusual and sometimes strange people.  When we started our photo walk with Steve Huff we were walking in the rain and the temperature was in the mid 50’s.  As we came around a corner there was a man walking in the street in only tennis shoes, shorts, and tight t-shirt.  I quickly took a picture which was obviously underexposed.  Personally, I think the shot worked well, it gave the subject an interesting and somewhat scary look.

Who’s that?

My baby girl is obviously still trying to figure out what’s going on around her.  We have a cat and dog and every time they walk by her, she gives them one of those glares that says “who and what are you”.  While visiting at my mom’s, her cat showed a lot of interest in Lyla.  Lyla definitely was eyeing him back.

A lot to look forward to

I was amazed a few weeks ago when I was in Chicago of how many weddings were going on on Michigan Avenue. I suppose it would be a great place to tie the knot. We came across this bride and groom who were getting their picture taken. I had my Leica 28mm summicron and snapped this picture. I really like the wide angle here. It gives you a sense of how large the occasion was.

I want that perfect shot!

I always find it funny when you see photographers trying to position themselves for the best shot.  You will often find us laying on the ground, bent over, turned side ways, etc…  This person was trying to take a picture of what appeared to be his girlfriend.  I love the way he squats to try to get the camera right at eye level.
