I thought I'd go back and touch up this one a bit. Make it B&W etc. I guess, mostly because it's how I'm feeling. What's in front of me doesn't look any different than what's behind me and there is no indication that making any sort of maneuver will change that fact.
A flower on one of our tomato plants! This is like the arrival of the first tooth in the mouth of an infant who seemed certain to die of the cholera before his first birthday.

i found these two estranged gloves laying amongst chunks of broken concrete at a construction site... were they greeting or saying goodbye to one another, about to shake after winning a bet or about to fight or offer an apology... the white glove appears to be the proactive participant in this scenario.

I’m taking an art photography class at the Evanston Arts Center. A few weeks back our assignment was to take some photos as metaphors – i.e. the photo of something is also a symbol of or suggests something else. I took my lead from the famed landscape photographer Ansel Adams and decided on landscape as a metaphor for the sacred. I headed down to Starved Rock State Park since it has the most dramatic landscape features within a hundred and five miles of Evanston. My success as a landscape photographer was modest at best, but before heading back to Evanston I decided on a stop at the dam to see if I could get a photo or two of some wintering Bald Eagles. They were keeping some distance from the observation deck that day, but I was able to get some panning shots of one eagle when it fished by the dam.
I am not particularly enamored with patriotic symbols, so imagine my surprise when I reviewed my photos and found that my best shot of the eagle also included an American flag. I rather like the contrast between the industrial near bank and the wild far bank. It also helps that the flag is a bit tattered.
