the beautiful midwestern sky…

Chicago sunset

Just outside O’Hare, I was walking back to my hotel the day before I flew to ATL and the sunset produced these beautiful colors on the clouds.  A plane crossed through at the perfect time and I was lucky to pull my camera out to grab this shot!

smoking!

Smokers at City Club, SF
I’ve always loved taking photos of people smoking.  The smoke is very organic in the way it floats and it can look great in color or black and white.   My most recent wedding at the City Club in San Francisco gave me a chance to take some smokers shots with people willing to have their photos taken.  it seems like a lot of times smokers don’t want to be photographed smoking but when it’s in a sanctioned location they love it!

How far up is this kite?

So another day at Dolores Park and these folks next to us had this cool kite.  It was actually a finger kite and was very practical for lazing about if you don’t wanna get up and pull a Charlie Brown.

Economic Stimulus

Well, I’ve been shopping around for a place to live and since the economy is the way it is, the housing market has really come down in SF. I found a place I really love and put an offer in that was accepted. Now it’s all about the paperwork, and it looks like I will be signing my life away…genex2009_0102
