Pictures of how I spent my safety day :)

Recommended Posts

I figured I needed to spend some time with the whuffos this weekend since the season is about to begin. Plus I will be at the Skydive Chicago Expo in two weeks....so, I went and marched behind the Mayor (pic of him with my friends in there as well) in the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Check them out!
My Photos

I'm starting to get back into photography....so I was playing with the camera to see what sort of results I would get.

Nice pictures Chasing... I like the building shots ;)

Looks like it was a beautiful day.



Yea, felt like I should have named them Got BASE?

The morning was about 31F, and probably got as high as 40-45F, no winds and lots of sun. With all the Poteen (Irish Moonshine) flowing, we were not feeling the cold.

You have an excellent camera eye and should leap back into photography with both feet, we really enjoyed your pics. Careful posting 'crimes' in a public space though. ;)

Thanks James!

I like to think I have an OK eye for seeing a good picture, but excellent really is pushing it. After spending a couple weeks this past summer working with Todd Sutherland (Lolie was there as well), I realized just how much I have to learn about photography. The experience was great, and gave me a decent idea of the type of day a professional photographer has and just how much work it really is.

Working with a cheap digicam is much harder than I thought. The response/reload time causes you to miss most of the good shots...and it is very limited on options.

I can't believe you spent time with that thieving lying b@stard son of a bltch that we call "Da Mare". He's one politician I dislike even more than GWB.:(

Especially after what he did to Meigs Field.
>:(

Nice pics, though.:)

I am not his biggest fan either, thus the title for that picture.

I was warned by a couple friends that I was not allowed to talk to him - esp since I had been drinking.

It's a long list, Mary, but few of them are politicians. The last politician I really liked died last year (Paul Simon). I kind of like John McCain too. I liked Colin Powell until he sold out.
