Back in the Day is an excellent, James Beard-nominated bakery near Forsyth Park. While the baked goods are excellent, I would highly recommend building your own biscuit. I had an everything biscuit with house-made jam, bacon, Gruyere and eggs.

Rich and I at a Sadies event in high school. I took us to a thirft store and I got this pretty mustard color sweater, I got him a cool mustard cardigan but he was "too cool" to wear it lol, he took it off for the pictures but he did wear the navy blue high top chucks, that's the only spot we matched. Here is to black and white and couples BAM all in one.
And I wonder why my back hurts at night.
But seriously, this is a shot from the old days showing my choice of camera, a sinar 4X5. For those of you new to photography, a single catalog shot (for an unnamed client) would take aprox 3 hours.
One hour to frame and light the shot, one hour for the stylist to twique it, and then one hour for the art director to make changes until he was happy with the last polaroid.
A typical bracket would be, between 4 and 15 polaroids, and then 8 sheets of 4x5 Fuji Provia film. 4 sheets would be marked by the assistant to be run by the lab, and 4 sheets would be held in case the exposure needed to be pushed or pulled.

This was taken waaaaay back in the day by a total stranger. She was pretty hot and I agreed on the condition that I could have a copy. My ulterior motive was that I would have a chance to see her again. Ironically, she ended up selling me the engagement ring for my first wife. Go figure.
intellect is like a major city
laden with concrete and metal
advanced modes of transportation
shining buildings and fenced-in parks
spirit is the mountains, forest
wilderness and vast countryside
that surrounds it
too many people live in the city
struggling day to day
for mere existence
most have forgotten
how to live off the land
they only experience nature
on class trips and short term vacations
for those that live in the country
cities are like amusement parks
with high prices and temporal satisfaction
at the end of the day
they are tired
ready to go home
to relieve their ringing ears
this is a photograph of my grandma (right) joanne and one of her very best friends. taken in the 1930's. i remember nothing of her except when i was four years old, it was my birthday and she had passed earlier that week but her package had arrived with a bright purple jumpsuit and a card saying she loves me. i wish i had more memories, but these old photographs will have to suffice. i have reason to believe she was an amazing woman, and i hope wherever she is now, that she's happy.

This is from one of the countless surf / camping trips my friends and I used to make in San Diego County.
I'm pretty sure this was at a campground in Leucadia probably 1985-ish. If I remember correctly it was winter and the waves were small and stormy the entire trip. That didn't matter much because we always found something else to do and managed to stay out of trouble most of the time.

There's a long story about this ramp. It was a secret ramp that Dave and 11 friends built in an old Ace Hardware factory in the UIC/West Loop area.
We used to skate here quite a bit. It was awesome.
Incidentally, this place is now condo/loft conversions and where Julie Chimblyweep, Ben Cardstock and Molly Chimblystock live now. It's odd going to their place and knowing that I used to skate there.
