Game of Cluedo.
My brother sent this game to my kids....and I'm playing and really enjoying this. Often times, games are just like our lives.... we need to learn the rules, know the players, do some research, and even many trial-and-errors....

My wife and I, along with a couple of our friends, attended a show at Chicago's Empty Bottle bar. While we were milling around waiting for the show to start, I noticed this scene and knew I had to grab the shot.
It's something different. Today I made a lightbox, and I think I will make soon more still life photos :) Don't you think it's a bit contrastless? I can't decide it...

This shot was taken inside a model home. I took dozens of photos but was looking for something special to make a "shot" from. I love chess so this little set up caught my eye. When I first came upon this, the chess pieces were all over the board and many were tipped over. I took a few shots like that but decided the board should be set right and look like it was ready to play. So, I took a few moments and put the pieces in their appropriate positions and started over with the photos. I thought a b/w image would suit this due to the natural lighting coming in through the windows. During post processing, I added the soft focus and the frame and this is the result. Now that I look at this, I wish I would have made a few moves on both sides to make it look like there was a game in progress. Oh well, maybe next time.
Last weekend, my mom and I went to this model townhouse to see what a 1/2 million dollars will buy these days. This home was rediculous! Entering through the front door is the livingroom, dining room and kitchen, with floor to ceiling windows, light coming in from everywhere and decorated with exquisite taste and eloquence.
There was a stairway going down to a lower level. There was a family room, half bath, furnace room, a/c room, and the door to a 2 car garage. I noticed this door labled "elevator, please ask for assistance". I didnt think too much of that and went back up the stairs to the main level. The sales associate told me I should take my mom up to the 4th floor in the elevator. Im like, 4th floor? She said, yes, you will love it.
So, we walk over to the kitchen to another door marked elevator. We get in, and push 4. Yep, all these new townhomes come equipped with an elevator. I thought they only put elevators in homes out in Hollywood.......lol. It was a very slow ride, but eventually we get to the 4th floor. There is a bedroom and a full bath up there. This shot was taken on this floor. You can see the stairwell to the left. To the right is ANOTHER living room with a kitchenette. The only thing missing in this "kitchenette" was an oven. Straight ahead to the right of the table is a door exiting out onto a terrace. The terrace was huge! It was as big as my living room at home, maybe bigger!! There was a table and chair set out there and we sat down just to take in the "outdoor" moment. I looked at my mom and said, you know, we have seen SOOOOOO much already and we havent seen the 3rd floor yet........lol.
Eventually we head down the stairs to the 3rd floor. We find the master bedroom, master bath, a den (or another bedroom), laundry room, and a guest bath. Whew! Ive lost count on how many rooms are in this place!! How they can pack so much in one "unit". Haaaaaa! This "unit" was almost 4000 square feet. So, while I am still checking out the master bedroom, my mom went ahead through this hallway to the master bathroom. All of a sudden she yells out to me saying, you wont beleive this bathroom. Its like something from Hollywood. She was cracking up! Oh, I couldnt wait to get in there and see for myself. I walk to that side of the room to the "entrance" of the bathroom. I stopped in my tracks. Just the view from the "doorway" of the bathroom was enough. I put a picture of this below.
So ok, a half million isnt bad for such a large space but there were a TON of upgrades in this unit that most certainly raises that "base price" from 1/2 million to probably close to 700k. In fact, one of the upgrades is the finished 4th floor. Go figure. That "feature" is the best thing about this place!
Just before exiting the 3rd floor to make our way down to the main level, another sales associate noticed I had a camera and politely told me that pictures were not allowed. Ok............I said. This, AFTER I had already snapped off close to 100 pictures. After I started to make my way down the stairs and she went back to her "office", I shot about 10 more as I was walking out the front door.
No pictures? Whats up with that?
The place was beautiful. I fell in love with it. It actually is JUST what I would buy if I had a 1/2 to 3/4 of a million laying around. Real estate taxes are a mere $10k per year and association fees are $467/month, which includes outdoor window washing 2 times per year...............yeah baby, that makes it all worth it!!...lol.
I just cant imagine being able to afford something like that.
Anyway, I bought a lottery ticket last night.............2 of them.............just in case it was my lucky night........lol.
It wasnt.
And to think I could have put that $2.00 into my townhouse fund.
I would only need $449,998 more....................*sigh*
Whatever.
Chess anyone?
